Dear Everybody,
last weekend was one of the first weekends I actually had a plan on what I am going to do. While Saturday was reserved for culture, Sunday was Funday.
I can now tick off another art gallery from the list of all the places I want to visit, because on Saturday my first stop was Tate Britain, where I strolled through the contemporary art section. I love modern art but have to admit it can be controversial sometimes. There were exhibits I loved and others I couldn't understand, for example a glass container full of layered rotting toast.
In the afternoon I took part in an Evensong at Westminster Abbey, mainly to get inside this phenomenal church without having to pay 20 quids. I have to say it was one of the most impressive churches I have ever seen and hearing the choir sing was brilliant. Unfortunately I was not allowed to take picture but believe me when I tell you: Westminster Abbey is worth a visit.
Afterwards I also went to Westminster Cathedral where you can go up the clocktower to have an amazing view over London. Being high up and seeing this city I love so much underneath me still amazes me and makes me feel really happy. Also the cathedral itself is truly beautiful and one of the most glittery ones I know. If you want to know what I mean by that, definitely go visit and you will understand.
On Sunday it was really warm and lovely so Celine and I decided to hire SantanderCycles and have a bike tour around London. We've been nearly everywhere. We started off through Hyde Park, Green Park and St James's Park and then had lunch on the Strand. With our tummys filled and energy restored we continued on towards Southwark Bridge where we went South until we reached the Oval. We then made our way to Battersea Park and over Albert Bridge, ending up on King's Road where we actually had to cycle on the street because there were too many shoppers. Going along Sloane Street we made our way back to Hyde Park and enjoyed waffles with ice cream. Going by bike is a great way to explore London and I would recommend it to everyone on a sunny day.
See you!
