我趴在宾馆窗台,补写昨天(8月7日)的日记。

昨天,我深刻体会到了旅行的辛苦和一天一四季的百变天气。这一天早上还大风呼啸,但中午却艳阳当空;这一天,伦敦好多个景点都留下了我们的足迹:伦敦塔桥、大本钟、伦敦眼、皇家公园、唐宁街……恐怕要手脚并用才数得过来,加上晚上看乒乓球比赛,回到宾馆已经晚上11点左右了,万分疲倦的我倒头便睡,不过十分钟已沉沉入梦……

走在伦敦街头,大本钟的钟声回荡耳边,它如一位威风而又亲切的守护者,站立在泰晤士河岸。河的另一边就是人们熟悉的“伦敦眼”。关于这个名字的由来,有两种说法:有的说是因为每一个小观光台就宛如一只只小眼睛,有的说是因为当你在摩天轮的最高点向下鸟瞰,整个伦敦城的风光都会尽收眼底。因为时间关系,我们没能坐上这个巨大的摩天轮,但希望有一天我能亲自在最高点领略这座城市的风情。

走到唐宁街我们惊喜地看见了威风凛凛的皇家骑兵团,领头的是一匹俊秀的白马,而队伍里是清一色健壮的黑马。士兵们的头盔上顶着红色的扫帚型的装饰,随风舞动,好不威武。

唐宁街在过往的200年来,都是重要内阁官员、英国首相、财政大臣等的官邸,门口警卫无数。但其中一位亲切和蔼、平易近人的守卫与我们四人行一起合影。他总挂着灿烂的笑脸。当我走上前询问可否与他合影时,他的回答是“为什么不呢?”

接着,我们来到了皇家公园,这里是各种各样小动物的天堂。小动物们与人亲密无间。在中国我们很难在路边看到松鼠,但在皇家公园,无数小松鼠在人群中间上蹿下跳,随处可见,它们对人熟视无睹,毫无畏惧。你可以近距离地给它们拍张“艺术照”,它们甚至还会跑到你的手心觅食,一个字:“萌”!

皇家公园的空气无比清新,无数棵苍天大树拔地而起,公园中心的湖畔清澈得能看见树的倒影,鸟儿、天鹅、小鸭其乐融融地生活在这里。在公园长椅上,我发现一位慈祥的老爷爷摊开手给一群鸟儿喂食,脸上挂满了微笑,这人与动物和谐相处的场面布满了温馨。我立刻拿起手中的相机,记录下一个美好的时刻……

走着走着,听见一阵鸣笛声与击鼓声,我心想:一定是皇家卫兵出来游行啦,还不赶快去凑热闹!于是我们一行人风一般地朝声音方向奔去,不料跑得太快,妹妹的相机镜头盖给掉了!这可急死人了,大家又往回一路苦找,等找到镜头盖又回去,人都走光了!真是可惜啊……

晚上,我们迎来了激动人心的奥运乒乓球比赛。我们一行人穿好中国队队衣,举着国旗和大家一起助威呐喊,场面不一会就掀起一阵阵强劲的人浪、声浪。大家拍手跺脚,整个场馆内的气氛激烈,热闹不已。最后,中国香港代表团虽以失败收场,但我从中体会到了电视上和现场比赛的不同,感受到了现场的热烈气氛,这已珍藏在我的脑海……

I was lying by the hotel windows writing my diary from yesterday (August 7th).

I deeply felt the exhausting of the trip and the changeable weather.We left our footprints at many places in London in one day: Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the London Eye, the Royal Parks, Downing Street ... ... I'm afraid I have to count it with my hands and foot, plus the table tennis match in the evening,it was 11 o'clock in the evening when returned to hotel.

Walking in the streets of London, the Big Ben bells echoing my ears, it looks like a guardian with power and prestige, standing by the Thames. The other side of the river is "London Eye”. there are two kinds of arguments about the origin of the name, some said every small tour spot is like a little eye, and some said that when you are at the highest of the Ferris wheel looking down, you will have a panoramic view of the entire city of London. Due to the time constraints, we were not able to ride on the giant Ferris wheel, but I hope that one day I can personally discover the charm of this city at the highest point.

Walking to Downing Street, we were pleasantly surprised to see an imposing Royal mounted corps, the leading one is a handsome white horse, with the rest of all invariably robust dark horse. The red broom-decorative on top of soldiers’ helmet is really powerful.

For the past 200 years Downing Street has always been an important offi cial residence, cabinet offi cials, Prime Minister of United Kingdom, Finance Minister, with countless armed police at the door. One of the soldiers agreed to take pics with us,he has a bright smile.As I walked to the front and asked if I can have a photo with him, his answer is "why not? ”

And then we went to the Royal Park, here is a haven for a variety of small animals. They are so close with human. We can hardly see squirrels on the road in China. You can get close to them and take a pic of them, they even ran to foraging in your hand, so adorable.

Royal Park has very fresh air, countless trees springing up,you can see the refl ection of trees in the lake of central Park, birds, swans, ducks are happily living here I found a kind old man spread out hands to feed a fl ock of birds on a bench in the Park, with full of smiles on his face, I immediately took out the camera and record the wonderful moment ... ...

At night, we watched a exciting Olympic table tennis competition. We put on the Chinese team clothes, holding a fl ag and cheering for China. Everyone clap their hands, Even though Hong Kong lost in the game, I felt warm atmosphere at the scene, which has been treasured in my mind ... ...
