Hello, friends and fellow travelers! I am happy to announce that I am officially done with end of term exams and can finally do a quick recap on my amazing day trip to London last Monday! It had been five or so years since I last went, and I was as charmed as I was the first time, because London never loses its charm. To quote Samuel Johnson, “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
Eye spy with my little eye a magical London Eye! If you’ve only been on the London Eye during the daytime (like myself), then I insist you give it a try at night! It’s infinitely more magical. My friends and I were speechless and generally appreciative of all the opportunities we’ve been given this year.
We started the day off at Harrods (typical) and walked along Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace. Our lunch break was spent at Honest Burger in Soho, where I ate the most mouth-watering, delicious burger! Definitely give it a try if you’re a burger fan. That’s about all they serve, so you know it’s going to be good.
By the time lunch was over, it was getting rather cold so we headed off towards the London Eye (with a stop by the m&m store!) and ended up exploring the Southbank Centre Christmas market for the rest of the night. The Rekorderlig cider is amazing!
That’s all the time I have, time to pack for Spain, Amsterdam, and Germany! Woooo.
