Can't recall what church it is.. i shall just call it the church of Salisbury! The main purpose of today's s$100+ trip is definitely not for the church but to visit one of the Seven Wonders: Stonehenge!

Here we are at stonehenge! Though i remained perplex on why it is there, it is just cool that i have visited it. Who cares about the history for now. Nways, archaeologist are still uncovering the past of the stonehenge. Let's wait till it is finally done then i will go read about it in the future and given that i have the time!

We long heard of the the famous Fish 'n' Chips back home at the Sunny Singapore. We were tired after all the walking and have been craving for it so it was decided that we will look for some authentic London Fish 'n' Chips. I recalled Sharon telling me that she tried a not-too-bad Fish 'n' Chips from Waterloo and since we were already there, we shall just try our luck searching for the nice Fish 'n' Chips store near the station. the 3 hungry souls combed the whole station and asked some guys before it was concluded that: the shop which Sharon recommended was not within the station!
We went out of the station and the place seems like a CBD area, all the shop looks kinda chic and expensive, so i wondered if the shop Sharon visited will be costly as she was travelling with her parents. Parents have a more generous budget!!!
We saw a museum, some arts centre then THE EYE OF LONDON... its picture first before the food hunt

Then we passed some really trendy looking restaurants occupied with well-dressed diners before we gave up the hunt and headed back to the station! This was when we saw a shop which seems to fit the bill: near Waterloo, almost a corner shop and it sells fish 'n' chips!

We stood outside the shop elated that we found THE Fish 'n' Chips of Waterloo and its cheap too. Once we have decided on what to eat and was heading to the counter to make an order for the long awaited meal, the girl behind the counter started waving to us and said something i didn't quite understand. I was not too sure if it was selective hearing on my part or her accent was too strong, but i was certain that my hopes were DASHED after i deciphered what she has just said. "Our shop is closing and we will not be taking any orders...!"

We left Waterloo utterly dissappointed... but u should have imagined our joy when we happen to chance upon a Fish 'n' Chips store while we were heading to BK.

Sam too had a chance to try London's Fish 'n Chip, though not wrapped in newspaper, when we met him after his briefing with Contiki! We saw him while he was waiting to cross the road and save that boy from spending his money at some filthy-rich, money-making, wellknown, multinational and unhealthy fast-food restaurant which was none other than BK!!
