• Exploration of London

    September 6 in England ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Hello again! This time in a short city-trip post of me and my bestie in London, a city we both swore we'd travel to together once both passports had the same, red color. And alas, here we are, over 10 years later!

    Our adventure began with an uneventful journey to the airport where we were at Check In One until the easyjet app told me that an online check in was far too late. So, I started my first workout of today and ran back to Check-In Three which took me approximately 6 minutes to run. Checked in, got boardingpass, ran back.😮‍💨

    After arriving in London Gatwich we caught a bolt to our hotel which took an entire hour longer than expected (2 instead of 1) and felt like an eternity in which we exchanged looks and said: "Using the public transportation" would have gotten us there sooner. And probably walking, too.🤓

    After freshening up, we had a very authentic Pad Thai, walked from our hotel through Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace, our first stop.
    We continued on to Big Ben where we wittnessed a demo about Free Palestine that caused quite some tumult. We even saw a guy get dragged out by four men, each holding on to one of four limbs.💂‍♂️🏋️

    We exited that scene fairly quickly and walked our way to Tower Bridge, stumbling through a place JK Rowling used as inspo for Diagon-Alley in the HP movie franchise.⚡️

    We ended our 20k step tour back in our corner of London eating some delicious pizza (gluten-free, yes, still delicious!) and some mozzarella sticks. Shoutout to Steve on this note.🍕
