As in the usual fashion, each newsletter contradicts the last. So I did the less boring thing I could think of. Fueled by the realization that both summer and my twenties are ending soon (don’t ask), I spent two days in London by myself. I had only ever been there for an evening in 2018 and was floored by its unexpected (to me) beauty.
This time I had an itinerary and a tight schedule. I wanted the full tourist experience! All in all, I walked about 40 km in my Vans which totally destroyed my feet. I think I might have plantar fasciitis.
There’s room to talk more next time. I’m just happy that my new camera and I are starting to get along, so today I’ll be sharing more photos than usual.
I started with Hyde Park. The grass was dried-out, in a brown and yellow colour. I still loved the atmosphere and found myself smiling the whole way.
I happened to be around Buckingham Palace during the changing of the guard. It’s not an experience I would recommend. It’s way too crowded, you can’t see a thing and you might get robbed.
Woke up at 6 AM since one can’t simply waste time in London. The city was still foggy which added to its personality.
London is wonderful. No matter how many articles I read that point out the many downsides of living there, my heart still dreams of it. Pollution will kill us all either way.
See you next time. And if you’re in London, eat a bagel from Beigel Bake Brick Lane Bakery for me.
Tower Bridge is gorgeous. I’ve only ever seen it in movies.
