Speaker's Corner, 11:00
We started the day with a spontaneous trip to the popular Speaker's Corner in the north-east corner of Hyde Park. It's an area where open-air public speaking, debate and discussion are allowed. Speakers there may speak on any subject they want. On this day there were 3 different persons speaking: The first told us his version of the story of "Adam and Eve" and the function of Adam's penis. It was a crazy but funny old man. The second man tried to convince everybody of believing in Islam by reading out loud different verses of Koran. In contrast, the third man told everybody that Jewishness is the one and only religion by badmouthing the other religions. It was interesting and funny to compare these three different persons and their different way of telling their opinion.
The National Gallery, 12:00
In this museum Alexandra, Lisa and Leila were responsible for the guidance. Unfortunately it was impossible to visit the whole museum because it includes over 2,000 paintings. So each of them picked one famous painting and explained it to the group. After that we had free time on our own for looking at the other paintings and listening to the audio guides.Following we discovered Trafalgar Square (sitting on the lion statues, making photos of the impressive fountains, etc.. ) and visited the popular Hard Rock Café which was also creepy decorated.
The final place to go on this day were Madame Tussauds. But not everyone of us visited this "museum" because a few have already been there before. We just entered the main hall and looked straight into the eyes of Zac Efron, Christina Aguilera, Brangelina, Robert Pattinson.. The building was structured in Sport Stars (David Beckham, Christiano Ronaldo, Muhammad Ali, ...), Royalty (Prince Charles, The Queen, Lady Diana, ...), Pop Stars (Rihanna, Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, ...), World Leaders (Barack Obama, Tony Blair, Angela Merkel, ...), Hollywood Stars (Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, George Clooney, ...), Bollywood Stars (Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, ...), Cultural Figures (Albert Einstein, Charles Dickens, ...), Fashion (Kate Moss, Posh and Becks, ...), Characters (Captain America, Jack Sparrow, Sherlock Holmes ...) and also a little chamber of horrors in which we screamed our minds to the heavens - just like the other half of the group who visited at the same time London Dungeon and its dark history.. Happy Halloween!
