London

Oh my god. I'm writing this in the airplane home, and the only thing I could think of that sums today up is sweat. Yes.
Gross.
But you'll figure out why soon enough.😮‍💨

We had a breakfast-y lunch in a cute café, where I ate a poached-egg-avocado toast and French Toast with maple syrup because the scale isn't showing me enough kilos yet😂 Yes, note the sarcasm.

Drank a red-velvet latte, had a pistacchio latte on the house because the Tunisian waiter liked us enough to also play a song titled "Natalie" after he asked where we were from and what our names were.☕️

We walked back to our hotel where I packed almost all my things and made our way to Paddington Station.🚉

I boarded the train to Farringdon, said goodbye to my bestie and drove 10 mins to my platform change. At this change I figured hey, now's a good time to double check where that little red booklet is called my passport and the most important thing besides my phone.📲

And... yes, you guessed it. It was NOT in my bag. It was in that dumb little drawer next to the bed at the hotel. Okay, shit, what do I do?
I need to get back. Fastest way back? A bolt, car ride.
Turns out: no, bad idea, in the car I saw the ride would take 54 minutes. I cancelled the ride, apologizing, my blood beginning to heat up and sizzle with anxiety.
I run back to the station, not sure which direction to go. I figure it out, run to the platform, get into the train. My bestie is running from Hyde Park, where she was supposed to relax, to the hotel so we can meet half way.

I realize I'm in the wrong train - GREAT, even better! That's what happens when you don't pay attention and keep your cool. Okay, I get out, thank god I have internet here, the next train back to Farringdon is on platform 2.

It's 12 minutes late. 12 minutes I can use to chill out, while my poor bestie is running for my life.
While I'm in the train to Farringdon, she rushes from the hotel to Paddington Station where she catches the train to our meeting point.

She gives me my passport and just two minutes later, I board the CORRECT train to the airport. My lifesaver.🥹🥹

And, since the universe, god, the stars and the spirits work in mysterious ways.... my flight was delayed.🤣🤓

BUT I'M ON MY WAY HOME
WITH MY PASSPORT NOW AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.🇨🇭Read more
