For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you'll be aware that I have been in Kraków, Poland recently! I got back on Friday and I have so much to share with you about my trip there. However before I tell you about my time in Poland, I wanted to finish telling you about my trip in London, so here goes another post about London town!
On the Monday, Lucy and Alex arrived in LDN and Ayala and I went to greet them at Euston Station. It was beautiful weather, which made Lucy's first time in London all the better! She was super duper excited to finally visit London, and I was super duper happy to share her first experience!
We strolled around London in search for a bite to eat for breakfast, which took a lot longer than we expected, and Ayala and I just ended up buying yoghurt pots with granola to go, whilst Lucy and Alex gave up the search and waited to satisfy their hunger until lunch time. Lucy was the perfect candidate for cheesy tourist shots, and she was more than willing to be my model ^^
It was quite strange, but so lovely, having my good friend Ayala, from Singapore, and my good friends Lucy and Alex, from Bangor, with me in the same place! It's quite a peculiar feeling bringing your two world's together!
After a chat in the park over our take away yoghurt Ayala left for the library, and Lucy, Alex and I began our group adventure... London adventures take two!
First on the list... the London Eye! Both Alex and I had been on the London Eye before, but this was Lucy's first time, she was pretty excited, and she had every reason to be because, with the weather as beautiful as it was (check out that blue sky!) the view was so clear and you could see London for miles!
The queue was relatively long, but we made it to the front pretty quickly!
...
And we're on!...
How incredible is that view though!?
Once we'd overlooked the whole of London from the sky, it was time to explore the city on our feet (It was to be yet another long day of walking)!
Lucy renamed big Ben to
.... 'little Ben'. Because she thought it would be a lot bigger than it actually is (but I think Miss Lucy perhaps had a bit too grandiose an expectation of gorgeous Ben, because it really does live up to it's name.. it is pretty big! haha!)
'Is this love, is this love, is this love that I'm feeeeeeeelin'?'
We then casually headed on over to Buckingham Palace, as you do..
It is a rather beautiful building...
With rather serious 'don't expect me to wave back' kinda guards...
After admiring both the beauty of the palace and the patience of it's guards...
Lucy and I were more than ready to hustle on over to our beloved Victoria's Secret! Lucy and I are both big fans of Victoria's Secret and it's angels. It was awesome to experience the new, and HUGE multi story branch with my bestie who appreciates VS (almost) as much as I do! ^^
You will most likely all be aware by now that Miranda Kerr has always been and will always remain to be my favourite angel! She is my number one idol, and not just for her outer beauty, but for her inner radiance and grace as well!
...and of course, after an hour and half in there (poor Alex!), we certainly couldn't leave empty handed! Lucy purchased 5 pairs of knickers, and I brought a PINK jumper, which... J'adore!
As if our day couldn't get any more exciting... we tried our first ever Ben's Cookies!
and oh my ... they were heavenly! So incredibly thick, yet soft and squishy! I had a peanut butter and chocolate chip one, and it was absolutely divine. Bellissima!
After a long, eventful day we chose the Blue's Kitchen in Camden Town as our chill out, wind down spot, of course cocktails and live blues music were involved! The live performer had a gorgeous voice, which made the mellow atmosphere of the place all the more enticing, we could have stayed there all night... But the clock was atickin' and we had to be up early in the morning for our conference! What responsible kids we are eh?^^
