Oh, the smell of tea in the morning. Yeah, after travelling half the day, arriving at our hotel at 11 pm last night (after walking the wrong way 5 times), (it’s so charming, located in Holland Road, a couple of minutes’ walk from the Tube), we finally made it to London.
London is something. It really is. From the moment I climbed the stairs up from Victoria to collect the tickets to my first West End Show. ‘til I came out from the Apollo Victoria with tears in my eyes. London really is something.
“Excuse me! Are you mother and daughter?” The cute, princess-boy from the 5 star make up studio appeared out of nowhere and offered us a 90% discount on a full make-over, photoshoot and night out in London. “I love your hair!” I was sold when he said that, but we’re budget travelers, so we could not afford it. I loved him anyways.
We went on to find Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace (and the squirrels in St. James Park) just waiting for us. Spotted: A group from Netherlands’ Olympic Team. Lunch: The Hard Rock Café. Our 10th. In the shadow of Keith Richards guitar. London can be glamorous on a budget to. It’s all about investments and smart spending. Like sharing a sandwich at HRC. It will be enough for both of you.
From Piccadilly Circus we went for a quick walk up Regent Street to what I believe is the biggest toystore I’ve ever visited in my whole life. The walk was quick because it started raining, but I still recommend everyone, young or old to check it out. They have life size lego-figures of the Royal Family. They have giant teddybear guards. They have 6 floors!!! And I got lost in the Harry Potter noble collection part. Yes. I went shopping (on purpose) one place today and it was at Hamley’s. A toystore.
