Return of UK and London

Before anyone says that I don't blogg anymore, here is my update from my time in UK. I was in London from Monday to Wednesday (until I got seriously bored of the heat, the people and that the things I wanted to see was closed cos of the damn Olympics). Here are some pics :)

                                         Then I walked and walked and walked.....

 I calculated how long I walked on my Tuesday-walk in London and it was 12,3 km (7,6mi) from my hostel at Piccadilly Circus, past Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Tate Modern, The Globe Theater, Tower Bridge, Brick Lane, Spitalfields Market, The Gherkin, Lloyd's, Leadenhall Market and finally Bank tube station where I took the tube back to Piccadilly Circus.

On the way to Bank tube station, I past Laduree just like last time I was in London and this time I did go in and bought some macaroons. In an Hello Kitty box.. (surprise, surprise....).

On Wednesday morning I packed my suitcase and left it in the luggage room on the hostel, took a walk down to Tesco on Regent Street and then I took the tube to North Greenwich. There by the Thames River I eat my breakfast and walked the Thames Path-walk to The Thames Flood Barrier. I wanted to go to Greenwich Park....but oooooh nooooo...it was all closed cos of the Olympics even if I had looked at their homepage to see if it was gonna be open or not.. So I went to Shepherd's Bush and Westfield Shopping Centre. And did some consolation shopping..NAILPOLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So on Wednesday I went home to my friends in Coxheath, on Thursday we went to Maidstone and did some light shopping, Friday-morning we went to Whitstable and walked along the shore and eat oysters, then later that day we went to my friend Nikkis parents house and then to a Pub, The Oxney Ferry Inn, to see the Olympic Opening Ceremony... On Saturday back to Coxheath and BBQ at the neighbours. On early Sunday morning we went home to Sally and Andrew for the christening of their daughters.

I like to thank Nikki and Paul for letting me stay at their place like so many times before and I do really appreciate it that you take me on small road trips around where u live so I can see something else then just London. Also a big thank u to Sally for being such a mum and giving me a lunchpack so I could eat while I was waiting on Heathrow before my flight home.
