London: day 1

To sum up I am in England about 1,5 year and I have never been in London...till the second of August ;] Everything began when I bought tickets for Emirates Cup. After this we had to go to London, the question was for how long. Thanks to our friends: Gustaw, Basia and Konrad we had free accommodation for three days.
First morning wasn't very positive, it was very rainy in Manchester and we were scared that the same will be in London. Fortunately, London was very sunny, only one black cloud wanted to scary us. This day we decided to spend in Greenwich, the place where the Royal Observatory was set up, where the globe is divided into west and east. We also visited National Maritime Museum near the Royal Hospital.

During our first day we had many small airplanes above our heads because of Red Bull Air Racing, which took place near The o2 Arena. Things which pilots presented were amazing, I have never seen this kind of tricks. Unfortunately, we saw only warm-up, because the tournament was pretty far from us and the tickets were really expensive. In general the whole day was very exciting for me and I really like this part of London.
