Holiday Adventures

Dear Everybody,

as this week is halfterm I have the week off and decided to use the time to do as many things in London as possible. I only have about two months left until I go back home, which makes me panic that I won't have enough time to see and do everything that is on my bucket list. So I am really grateful for the time I got. And also it's just nice to sleep in for a whole week. 

Saturday

On Saturday I went to the White Cube Gallery on Mason's Yard off Piccadilly. It is a small but lovely gallery for contemporary art. Then I went for a long walk to Fleet Street to visit Dr Johnson's House. Mr Johnson wrote the first important dictionary which you could have a look at in his house. But most importantly you could play dress up, the most fun you'll ever have in a museum. Why I chose to be a man I don't know though.

Sunday

On Sunday Celine and I went all the way to South London to visit the Imperial War Museum. It was a great place to refresh everything I learned about the two world wars in school, but more interesting displayed. We even found a piece of the Berlin Wall. 

After having great Mexican food at wahaca we walked along the Thames till we reached Battersea Park where we relaxed before heading home. 

Monday

Yesterday I started my week off with a great breakfast and then we headed towards Canary Wharf. We visited the Museum of London Docklands and strolled through all the shopping malls. Canary Wharf is a great place for everyone who loves shopping and it's also lovely for having walks along the docks and canals in the sunshine.

Tuesday

Today I got up a bit earlier because Celine and I had to catch our train from Paddington to go see Windsor Castle. Although it rained all day and we were soaked and frozen it was an incredible experience. The State Apartments are incredibly beautiful and beyond all imagination. There was one room that basically consisted of gold. 

Another amazing exhibit is Queen Mary's Dolls' House. It was huge and extremely detailed. They even wrote miniature books for its library!

                                      

See you!
