London Day 3 New Year's Eve

Believe it or not but today was a day with no football ! ( apologies to my American friends but when you are in London you can't call the beautiful game 'soccer' you have the say its REAL name FOOTBALL... :-)

Guess what ..it was raining cats and dogs today. Who would have thought...London and rain??  We had no idea....
Anyway the rain didn't stop us from being really good tourists and we took this no football opportunity to go to the London Dungeon. Great attraction with kids ...as long as they are not too young.


And of course you can't go to London without watching a good musical. We wanted to go to Charley and the Chocolate Factory or the Lion King but unfortunately the first one didn't have a show on the 31st and the Lion King doesn't start until Match
So instead we went to see SCROOGE the classic Christmas Carroll . which was very good and really fitting at this time of year.
After the musical we went for a walk in central London....Oxford Circus, Covent Garden, Piccadilly, etc....At Leicester Square we had a very nice Italian New Year's Eve dinner with pasta and pizza.

The last thing we did was to check out the crowds at Travelgar  Square. This is the place where usually hundreds of thousands of people get together at midnight to celebrate the start of the new year. We didnt wait that long and went home around 10.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
