After a very long flight (11 hours to be exact), I arrived in London on Saturday morning.
Since landing I have been rather busy and very tired. So far, I have managed to do a little shopping and on Sunday I went into London to do some sightseeing....
The London Marathon was on Sunday, so it made getting around a little bit harder. Though, it was cool to see all the supporters and runners out in full force.
I trotted around a lot of places, including Piccadilly Circus (above). I must admit I have been struggling with how busy London is. After the chilled vibe of Cape Town, being surrounded by swarms of people can be a bit overwhelming.
The weather in London is pretty chilly at the moment, though I have been told by the locals that this is amazing weather in comparison to three weeks ago (oh, thats St Pauls Cathedral in the middle).
I also visited the Tate Modern art gallery. It's three storeys high and it's nice to just wander around in (plus it's free ). I spotted this older couple hugging infront of a painting, it was too cute not to photograph (I want what they seem to have).
Note: Check out my instagram for more photos
I love London. Unfortunately I never got around to checking out the Tate Modern. I did tour the London Dungeon though ...

These pics bring back such fond memories. A part of my heart will always pine for London-town. I remember when I first moved there, I was also overwhelmed by the sheer sense of busy-ness! I must have adjusted, because when I returned to JHB, I felt everything was too slow. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip and safe travels.
