London in 2 Day's

I was thinking about next Post on UK then I realized most of people come to London for few day's, so why not a post which highlight covering London Attraction  in 2 Day's.

Few people may say it's impossible to cover London in just 2 Day's but I believe if you are Optimistic then nothing is Impossible. ;)


It's very Important to know what places you are attracted too, So that you can plan and cover them in limited period of time.


Day1 :

1. Greenwich

The Greenwich Meridian Line: Longitude 0°, is the center of world time.Defined by transit instrument and line across the Royal Observatory.
It's worth visiting Greenwich for following reason's
  • Prime Meridian Line, which divides earth into east and west.
  • Royal Observatory is best known as the location of the prime meridian
  • Maritime Museum
You can spend almost 4 hours in Greenwich to cover all this places.

Prime Meridian

Maritime Museum









2. Royal Victoria

Emirates Cable Car
Take a train/bus from Greewich to Royal Victoria, At Royal Victoria spend some time near Port side before you get into Emirates Cable Car, This Cable Car will take you to North Greenwich.
I will suggest you to take return ticket instead of One Way.

At North Greenwich you can't miss out O2 Arena, An Arena were you can have  Delicious Food. 
If you want to enjoy different Cuisines under a single roof, Jimmy's World Grill is a place.

Now after having Delicious Food, it's time to take a Best Walk in London!!!

Longleat Safari Park, UK

There are few things which should be part of your Itinerary when you Visit a Country.
One of the most important things is Wild Life Park, So my 2nd trip in UK was to Longleat Safari Park.

I was so excited to go for a Safari as it was suppose to be my 1st Safari trip :)











It fulfilled most of our expectations, You can't compare it with the Safari in Africa, but LongLeat has it own Standard.
After all it's UK's No.1 Safari Park


High Light's:


1. Penguin Island

I think Penguin's are one of the Cutest and Smartest Mammal's, It Feel as if your are in Heaven when you get to touch and feed Penguin.

Get up-close with Humboldt penguins as they swim underwater and right beneath your feet in the amazing subterranean cave on penguin island!

There is an zone where you can Walk and Sit Penguin :)

2. Longleat Hedge Maze

Maze, where your sole mission is to find your way to exit Tower, There are few bridge's to get a glimpse of exit way path.

We were split in 3 Groups of 4 People each, at one moment all groups where lost and standing on bridge to find our way.

I was part of the group who weren't the Winners, because we were busy taking Pictures and Posing on Bridge's :)

3. Hunter's of The Sky


This is a Show where World best Predator's take to the Skies, Its an 45 min show and you won't come to know when this show is over.

This show how predator's have an accuracy and eye on the Target.

No Matter how high they are flying, Target is crystal clear for them.

4. Feeding Animal's


Once out from Hunting Bird show, you can find your way toward Deer Park.
I thought this Deer's were so lonely and they wanted to talk with someone and here I come :)


5. Gorilla Island


You will need to be on a Ferry to take a tour of Gorilla Island, This Ferry has a Speaker who will guide you about Gorilla Island and some Interesting fact about Gorilla's.
I was shock to know they have kept a TV for our Oldest Gorilla on the Island .... hahahaha... No wonder why we are so much attracted to TV :P

During your ferry trip you will be followed by number of Seal (Sea Lion's), I just felt they are so hungry whatever you feed them they will eat.

6. Longleat House (Bollywood Movie Shoot at this House)


If you are Bollywood Movie fan then this House will attract you, I hope every Bollywood fan remember Mohabbatein Movie.

Yes Mohabbatein Movie's Gurukul College was nothing but this Longleat House.


7. Safari to the Jungle

Last but one of Most IMP attraction of LongLeat for which I was waiting , Drive in to the Jungle :)
This Safari park have acre's of Jungle which is divided into number of section, each section is dominated by different kind of Animals.

Jungle Section:

Tiger Territory                                          Lion Country

Giraffes Village                                         Monkey Drive Thru

Isle Of Wight....My 1st Trip within UK

I came to UK on Work Permit but Traveling is like an hobby. I believe it's better to Travel on weekend's rather than sitting at home and getting bored.

Isle Of Wight, A place from where my UK travel Journey started.






Its an Natural beauty where mountain and beach are close to each other, here the Mountains are white and it's not because of snow :P

Attraction in Isle Of Wight:


1. Alum Bay Beach

which take you on the Alum Bay Beach and back, you can get an awesome view of Sea and surrounding's.
There is no walk way to reach this beach
Alum Beach is an Pebble beach and it at West end of Isle of Wight

How to reach Isle Of Wight


If you are planning for a Day Trip than I will suggest hire a Car,
