Just got back from my trip to london and needed a day to recover. My girl and I left early friday morning to catch the Eurostar. After a ride of 2 hours we arrived at St-Pancras train station, grabed a quick breakfast and jumped on the tube. Minutes later we where in Oxford street, so early that there weren’t any shop open… accept Starbucks! Finally we could start our shopping… hitting Niketown, H&M, Footlocker, the Applestore and a few other stores. Feet already sore and with our stomaches grunting we searched for some food.

At 3pm we could check in in the hotel that was situated in Southwark, a suburb of London. We had a nice room, with a very soft bed! A quick shower and ready to visit Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and strolled further to London Bridge. It was only 8:30 but we where tired! Walked all the way back and got some sleep.

Started day two with a typical English breakfast and searched for the right metro connection. That weekend they where fixing the 3 main lines we had to take but nothing could get us down and we quickly found a solution. Next was Piccadilly. Not much to see there accept some bigscreen commercials. Arriving at Green Park we saw some summerchairs and it was the ideal time to take a little break. Not 2 minutes later a little Arabic guy came and asked for 1,5 ponds/chair… ridiculous! We got up and went to see Buckingham Palace. Thought I would get to see some red soldiers with big hats, but no they weren’t there… unfortunately. Took some pics and planned our next steps. The London Eye didn’t look that far on foot… and without planning we came a cross Big Ben, Westminster Abby and the houses of parlement.

Crossing the bridge and arriving at the London Eye, it was packed with people! We visited the Movieum, a musseum of movies where they had original costumes of Harry Potter, Superman, … props, scripts, drawings,… a Beatles exhibition with photographs and instruments,… and so much more! The London Eye itself was to crowded and not in our budget. We decided to take a little break in the park next to it and headed back to the hotel. On our way we bumped in to the Imax theatre and had no idea how we could get in there. Finally found the entry that was localized under ground. With nothing to do that evening we bought ourselfs a ticket to see the new Harry Potter movie, with the first 12 minutes in 3D.

The third day we didn’t really know what to do, we saw everything we wanted to see, and more. So we decided to hit the recordshops for some vinyl! We left that same day with a bunch of records and sore feet.
