St Paul's Cathedral is a definite must see tourist attraction! After going with Mel, I can understand why a lot people would be really interested in visiting cathedrals. I find it hard to comprehend how people in those days could build such a magnificent piece of work, thinking about the hours and effort that must have gone into it. The fine details that you can see in almost every part of the building is intriguing.
Trying to capture the whole cathedral in the photo was a challenge! Obviously I failed.
We asked a lady to take a photo for us and I think she was attempting to get a good picture of the cathedral behind us but also failed.
One of the spiral stairs we had to climb to get to the very top!
The view from the top! 111 metres high! (It was very very windy!)
The sun was trying its best to shine through.
While Mel was here, we tried to make the most of her stay and one of our ideas was to have high tea. We thought of going to the Ritz but due to it been quite expensive (and that I will be going there with my mum as a belated birthday celebration), we sort other options from Audrey who had been to a few herself. She recommended a few but we narrowed it down to two:
We had a hard time deciding which one to go to but finally went with the Metropolitan. (We will go to The Berkeley when Mel visits next!)
A selection of sweet and savoury cupcakes, fruit scones and 'no bread' sandwiches (the little glass pots), all made with healthy alternatives (eg. fruit purees replace sugar, olive oil instead of butter and all made from fresh, local, organic ingredients!
Cupcakes and macaroons! One of the reasons why we picked this place :)
