Welcoming 2020 in London, UK

This year we've decided to spend New Years Eve differently, not with my family or in Germany but in London with friends. As we have prepared for the trip months ago we are even more excited that the day has finally arrived.

After a great evening spending in a Pub in good company we are have made our way to at London Eye on the bridge. Hopefully we will watch a spectacular fireworks from this location and are waiting for the moment the clock will tick over and a new year, decade begins. 

For this special occasion even Big Ben will ring at midnight. So here we go, waiting for 2020 to arrive, bring it on and count down 10, 9, 8...…..

Happy New Year

2020

London - China Town - Dim Sum

Of course there is "China Town" here in London, don't you know that? That was the answer for my question of my friend Sasa. The evening we went to see the comedy show in Soho Theatre which I enjoyed pretty much and Tobi probably didn't because of him not speaking English very well, on the way back home we accidentally stumbled through China Town and checked it out. 

As we only had a piece of Pizza before the show we were hungry afterwards. So we had dinner at a Hong Kong Restaurant, Tobi's choice. What we noticed straight away, China Town, London has lots of Dim Sum places….which unfortunately Berlin is lacking. I love Dim Sum so we decided to come back the next day to have Dim Sum for lunch and weren't disappointed.

We even went for a full body massage for 60 minutes which we both enjoyed very much, after yesterdays long walk through London and the sightseeing tour. We walked more than 10 km and no, we did not want to take the Underground Tube or the hop on & hop off bus because the weather was just loevely, clear skies and sunny. It was totally worth it even though our feet hurt at the end of that day.

London - Sightseeing Tour

There are far too many photos to share them all with you. However, a couple I have picked to post to my Blog. It all started with walking down to Kensington Palace then we just followed others an came by other interesting buildings and statues which I can't even remember what they are called.

As mentioned before, we basically walked more than 12 km in one day and at the end I was exhausted, we both were, to the point we decided to buy a new pair, of shoes each the following day. As we purchased the new pair we left the old one in the shop and continued with more sightseeing the following day in much more comfortable shoes than the day before.

I must admit I fell in love with London. How could I have waited so long to actually come here. Whether it is the city, public transport, sightseeing, people or the cuisine & food, I felt like in food heaven. It was the first trip to London but it will not be the last one...I'll come back for more and even will explore more of the country and its beauty.
