The two final stops of my holiday travel were London and Bath. The winter weather was rather pleasant during my trip so I walked as much as I could and enjoyed the city streets, architecture and monuments. I didn’t take nearly as many pictures during this trip, but I’ll share a few of my favorite shots. Of the many things I didn’t photograph, I particularly remember walking through and eating / drinking all sorts of yummy things at Camden and Greenwich Markets, enjoying a concert at St. Martin in the Fields and having a fantastic Sunday brunch at Sally Lunn’s in Bath.
Foto obligatoria en el metro de Westminster – esta parada está siempre ocupada. / (Obligatory picture at the Westminster tube – this stop is always busy.)
Interesting view while walking from Parliament St. towards the Horse Guards Parade. / (Un edificio que capturo mi vista mientras camina desde Calle Parlamento hacia el desfile de los guardias montados a caballo.)
Memorial to the Women of World War II. / (Memorial a las mujeres de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.)
Westminster Abbey – evening shot. I decided against waiting in a long to pay for admission. Instead, I attended a vesper service in the evening and, while only I saw a bit of the inside, I think I was able to get a truer view of this magnificent church. /(Abadía de Westminster – vista de noche. Decidí no esperar en una larga línea para pagar la entrada. Mejor, asistí a un servicio de vísperas por la noche y, aunque vi un poco de la parte interior, creo que conseguí una visión más real de esta magnífica iglesia.)
Abadía de Westminster – vista por la tarde. /(Westminster Abbey – afternoon shot)
One of the highest courts of the UK. Most people just walk by – they miss out on some interesting history, art and architecture. / (Uno de los más altos tribunales del Reino Unido. La mayoría de la gente simplemente pasa sin detenerse – se pierden de historia, arte y arquitectura interesante.)
Big Ben – por la noche / at night
Buckingham Palace – remarkably quiet one morning. I braved the crowds the following day to see the Changing of the Guard. It was beyond crowded and I had a limited view but something I will always remember, in particular listening to the band play snippets from Chicago and Les Misérables. / (Palacio de Buckingham – extraordinariamente tranquilo una mañana. Me aventuré por las multitudes el día siguiente para ver el cambio de guardia. Estaba más allá de lleno y tuve una visión limitada, pero es algo que siempre recordaré, en particular, el escuchar la banda tocar canciones de los musicales Chicago y Los Miserables.)
Memorial de Victoria
Bath: the best fish and chips I have ever had – even the mushy peas were great! / (Bath: ¡el mejor pescado con patatas fritas que he tenido – incluso los guisantes fueron geniales!)
Bath – vista al lado del río Avon / (nice view along the Avon River).
Bath – would not be winter in the UK without some rain /(Bath – no sería invierno en el Reino Unido sin un poco de lluvia)
Bath Abbey / Abadía de Bath
Bath Abbey – beautiful stain glass give this light and airy church a special touch. / (Abadía de Bath- hermosos vidrieros le dan a esta ligera y aireada iglesia un toque especial.)
