A fantastic day in London - Day Two (Part One)

I had a really good sleep the night before day two...looks like my plan to overcome jet lag is a success!!! I woke up and played with Silas for awhile. Then we had breakfast and off we went into London for what could be one of the best days of my life....

Our first stop was the Wax Museum! I had bought tickets online and booked them for that morning. On the internet people were commenting it's good to buy online cause the lineups can be long for the wax museum. Sounds ridiculous?!?!? That's what I thought, but I still did it. Once there we found the queue for prepaid tickets and it wasn't too bad, took us about 15 mins to get in. As we're standing in line, there's another line right beside leading up to the place where you purchase tickets at the door. That lineup didn't seem long to me at all, so I thought, guess it didn't really matter that we bought tickets online...until a guy came around the corner, "Attention, if you are waiting to buy tickets for the wax museum, you need to move over to this other queue! You are all queued behind people trying to get out of the rain! This is not the queue for the wax museum!" I couldn't believe it...all those people were standing in a fake line!!?! When they all moved I could see the real line which stretched forever in the other direction. Oh those poor people (but lucky us, we didn't even have to stand in the rain!!!). I can't remember exactly, but I heard that queue was at least an hour long (correct me if I'm wrong Robyn).

So we're finally inside. I wasn't sure how Robyn would take to the whole experience, but I was going to make her take my picture anyways. Once we got out of the elevator into the first main area Robyn turned absolutely giddy! It was a side of her I think I only ever see at camp. She would look to her left, "Oh, look it's that guy!!!" and then to her right, "I can't believe she's here!!!". Haha, it was too funny. Right away she wanted me to take pictures of her with different people. Here are some of the good ones:


Robyn actually has a friend that looks like Jessica Simpson


Here she is performing for Simon Cowell and some other guy


It's Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Greg!!!


Robyn makes her move on Beckham while some mystery kid distracts Posh Spice


Robyn finally makes contact with a certain Irishman


I'm touching her bum!


...and Tom is grabbing mine!

After the first area they had a section for Pirates of the Carribean. Orlando and Captain Jack looked really good, but Keira was hurtin' so I didn't take her picture.




The next room was different celebrities. They had this huge Hulk wax figure, which I'm sure they wouldn't have made if they had realized how horrible that movie was. No one took his picture.


Did you know we have the same size hands?
"I'm a cybernetic organism: living tissue over a metal endoskeleton!"


I was so honoured to finally meet the Master

After that was a room with more historical figures. My camera battery died halfway through, I was pretty choked cause I was just getting into it! I forgot to charge it the night we got in.


I should have worn a tie.


Great minds share the same hairstyle...


After that was the chamber of horrors. Haha, online I was a little confused when I was buying the tickets. We had to pay extra to go into the chamber of horrors live. I thought that meant we had to pay to go into the chamber of horrors (which is one of my favorite parts of wax museums) so I told Robyn she was sucking it up cause I wanted to go in. Turns out, the chamber of horrors is free, its just the live part that costs money. Haha, hahahaha, oh boy, if I had known that...I once took Chanel into a live horror show like that, big mistake! Now I'm dragging Robyn in and I don't even really care about it that much. Poor girl! They liked to pick on her cause she was freaking out. In the insane asylum section this crazy girl came between us and wouldn't let Robyn get by. She kept muttering stuff about wanting to eat her and rip her apart or something like that. Haha, oh man....let's just say after we finally got out of there Robyn had to take a little timeout to compose herself.

Then we went into the actual chamber of horrors, which was alright, but not nearly as good as the Victoria one. So far that's my favorite.


I can't wait to go back...

After the chamber we got onto these moving taxi car things Disneyland style that took us through the history of London. I thought it was fascinating. I liked the part when everything was on fire. At the beginning of the ride we noticed a tv screen showing pictures of people in the cars, so we knew there would be a camera up ahead and we planned what our pose would be. I thought it would be funny for Robyn to choke me, cause then all the people in the line could laugh at our picture. As we're coming around the corner at one part of the ride we hear in a strong british accent, "Oy! Oy! Wew gowng taykca pahehfqo!" Then there was this Santa Claus figure and we're both like, "What's that all about?" when suddenly we hear the camera go off taking our picture. We then realize, the voice said something like, "Oy! Oy! We're going to take your photo!" which would have been nice to understand so we could do our pose. Dang it!!!

So that part was done and then it's on to this planetarium type theatre to watch a movie. We probably waited 15 mins to get into this movie, which turned out being only 8 mins long. It was a claymation short about some aliens who love Earth cause it's filled with stars (celebrities). Then they come to Earth to see them, and they cut the screen out and pop over with cameras and we all waved as they took our photo. It was so dumb, there were plenty of jokes scattered throughout it, but no one laughed or made any noise or anything. It was completely lame! And I think the message of the flick was really that we're lame cause we like celebrities so much that we paid to look at their wax figures. Good one...

So the Wax Museum in itself was such a huge adventure it deserved a post dedicated solely to it. The rest of the day will be posted next....
