Part 4: Snowstorm and Snowmen

Our hotel entrance



Snowmen will be all around town today.

One of the earliest sights of the morning.


Russel Square

Mommy let's build a snowman!





Konichiwa!


The British Museum even opened later than usual since its staff got stuck in the heavy snowfall.


The newly domed hall created by Sir Norman Foster in 2001 was covered in a big white blanket, so the great hall was quite darkened.



Egypt in winter

Erik and the Rosetta stone




the cranes of central London

no red busses but a red door :)

Hi there you city people!

Welcome to London during its worst snowstorm in 18 years. A city in its early morning hours where almost no traffic was coming through, people were stuck in traffic and where for the first time since their creation the iconic London red busses didn't get out for duty.
Outside of our hotel, Russel Square looked like something out of a fairytale, with a thick layer of white magic covering everything in at least 25 centimeters. London also got populated for one fun day by thousands of snowmen standing around almost everywhere. Snowballthrowing was also quite the fun.
