Kids are all so nosy....they are probably suffered from being bored (waiting for the gallery to be open) and jet lag.....so do I. 


Photobucket
I really adore the tail of this AllSaints leather jacket.... so much of "Shakespeare looking"!


Photobucket
It is not even 9 AM when we arrived British Museum that I decided to read Fairy story to Niel and Abby whilst we wait for the gallery open at 10 AM. 


You know, we only in the British Museum for hour and half, kids became tired and bored that we decided to ditch out touring! :P


Photobucket
This is then what happened around 2:30 PM that everyone seems to be defeated by jet lag. We went home for an hour nap after lunch.~~ I said, only an hour!! ^O^


Photobucket
Outside the natural history museum. 
We almost walked every corner in London... ^O^


Photobucket
They even have Melissa shoes for children available. 


Photobucket
There are so many different styles of rain boots, flat tall boots and as well as Melissa's rubber shoes.

We all ride on Ferry Wheel in the evening.... DH and I were so sleepy that we hoped that we can sleep right inside the capsule!! :P

London's night view is amazing!!


Ah... I think I am too tired now...that I should go to bed cause' we'd catch plane for Italy.
