Rainbow Panda Banana!: My adventures in central London

Hello everyone!

On Saturday, my mum suggested we should take random buses to random places and see where we end up. Because I like buses, exploring and I really needed to go somewhere, I also saw the opportunity to perhaps buy myself a little something and eagerly accepted the idea. So, I decided I'm going to lead everyone off to Central London >:D When we got out of the house (my two sisters, me and my mum) we discussed which bus we should take first. We settled for route 77. When we waited for the 77, it suddenly came off the bus timetable! So, we waited for the next one and hopped on. The route was rather long, but it was fun seeing some new bus stops. It was fairly boring and quiet for quite a lot of the journey, but then it started to get more busy. We got off at Waterloo, the last stop. It was busy! It was so crowded, buses were EVERYWHERE, shops, traffic... wow. We searched for another bus stop and my sister decided we should take the number 4 next. We took it, and went a few stops. We went on so many buses, I don't even remember all of them XD I know we went on the 73,25,8,4,11... there might have been a few others I forgot about. Central London is huge! When we got off the 4, we saw that the 11 stops at the bus stop we were on! I always wanted to take the 11, so I was really glad. First, though, we went to McDonald's- my sister did, anyway. She got herself a happy meal and then we went to a Sainsbury's- I bought myself some pineapple chunks. We waited for the 11, and I ate my pineapple. When the 11 arrived, I just about managed to stop myself jumping into the bus. I eagerly pressed my Oyster card on the card reader and was quite amazed- the bus was so different from your average London bus! It wasn't like my school bus, it wasn't like an ordinary route such as the 270 or the 264.It was... INCREDIBLE. Anyone who takes this bus to work should consider themselves lucky x3 There are so many tourist attractions it passes through! After we went on the 11, our day consisted of looking around shops (I saw a loom kit that cost £20 in a shop where everything was quite expensive, so despite some pretty cool things there I didn't buy anything) and deciding which bus to go on next. It was so much fun! I only bought myself one thing- a Warrior Cats book (Into the Wild). I never read that series, so I will start it once I get through my school library books and two other books I bought earlier. I know I didn't buy much, so next time we do something like this I'm going to buy more things. After going on buses,looking around loads of shops and buying things,we were eventually quite tired, so we decided to come back home. I had no idea how, until I saw a 73 that went to Victoria. I quickly figured that if we could get to Victoria, we can catch the 44 back. So, I told my mum and hopped on the next 73 that we saw which went to Victoria. I checked on my phone and noticed there weren't too many bus stops left. We got off at Victoria, and waited 12 minutes for the 44. Eventually, it came and we sat down. The traffic was rather bad, but eventually we got out of Central London and the rest of the way was better. We then went home, and it was a great day! I'm hoping to do something like this again, as I really like central London. My mum says we might, so I'm looking forward to that. Vacation is drawing closer and closer, and I can say I'm busy enough! The time is going quite quickly now. I took quite a lot of photos- you can see some of them below. I'm going to updated the London Buses page after I finish this post, though I didn't manage to photograph EVERY BUS I SAW. However, I can do that next time, right? ^-^
Tomorrow, I'm going to post about my day yesterday, which was a LOT of fun too! I didn't take my phone though, so no photos :(( Maybe my dad can send me a few?
I will see XD
