EU Holiday, August 26 (The Dark Night)

My birthday and time for a flight back to London City airport. The trip was quite uneventful, the train ride to the airport was short and easy and getting through both airports didn't present any problems. Had a little bad luck from there as the rain was also hanging around in London. I again had my two bags to carry around as I tried to navigate a few other landmarks of London (with my still broken umbrella).

I walked along the River Thames over to the Tower Bridge and across it, then over to that weird looking "Swiss Re" building. I found a burrito place! but it was just ok... I continued further along the north side of the river, past St Paul's Cathedral and some other buildings I don't know the name of. Picked up the key to Amir's place from his work, and headed back there before returning to the city.

Tower Bridge.

Tower Bridge again, liking the blue.

The Tower Of London, that doesn't seem like a tower.

30 St Mary Axe.

St. Paul's Cathedral.

St. Paul's Cathedral from the other side.

By this time it was the evening and the rain was pouring down, it looked like the taxis were about to be washed down the street. I didn't even bother trying to use an umbrella, we just had to make a mad dash to the bus stop and train stations to make it across the city to the o2 Arena for Batman Live! Had no idea what it was besides being Batman. It was easily the worst event I have ever attended. Even Pukkelpop would have been better. We left at the intermission and didn't come back.

BATMAN! It looked so promising...
