We went to areas that we didnt cover in our previous trip in London last year..we made our way to Borough Market, this is a famous spot for fresh groceries, food and simply a culture arena..
The tasty muffins made me hungry!
Fruit Juice on a hot day?
Weather in London was pretty sunny that day..Pleasant weather with occasional breeze..and so we decided to walk instead of taking the tube..to see the scenery along River Thames..
London Bridge is falling down!
The touristy boat
Is there an invisible string or something to hold that spectacles?
Along the way, there were many street performers, painters showcasing their art..we came by a photography gallery that exhibited pictures of wildlife in the Antartica, Africa..
Book Fair
We came across an area that we've never seen before in our last trip..graffitti in London!..though I still think Dublin's art is much beautiful and creative..seems like this art culture is everywhere in Europe, be it Dublin, Paris..less seen in Asia..not seen in Singapore of cuz..it's like a crime!
are we erasing the creativity in Asia?..i wonder...
Avatar Alive
London Eye that's always a long queue..
We came across a park near the Big Ben...there were many banners put up, in relation to war...and peace...
Winston Churchill
We had some shopping at Oxford Street before making our way to Paddington Station..It was the summer sales..everyone was purchasing bags and bags of items as if there were free..we were stunned in fact..haha..
we hurried back to our hotel to get our luggage..and i remembered that day...the tube was undergoing a major renovation work..that many stations were closed..making our way from Angel station to Paddington was a tremendous complicated issue..that I had headaache trying to route towards there by the tube...in the end, we realised by chance that a bus from the nearby busstop from our hotel could bring us straight to Paddington..relieved as we were...we took the bus..travelled to Paddington, and took the Heathrow Express to Heathrow Airport for our flight back to Singapore..
This was indeed the longest trip we had amongst all..never expected ourselves to go to Dublin..if not for the conference..and interestingly we went to Spain to see the sun and Gaudi's works.. travelled to Paris to see Eiffel...everything happened so quickly within the 3 weeks..I've learnt a lot..see a lot..and experience a lot..from mountains, ,nature, culture, gastronomy and history...
travel adventure comes in a package..able to see what has been planned to come true is definitely a satisfying sensation...that keeps me hooked to travel planning...
May the next trip to explore other parts of Europe to come soon in the near future!
I cant wait to travel again as I typed this last post :)
