Got back again from London. Been there 4 times now and just cannot get enough of it. On every visit I enjoy the city more and more. Everytime you come back there is something else to do and some other area to explore. It just never ends. Before my last visit I only stayed in London and well did one daytrip to Oxford, but this time I really wanted to see a bit more of good old England. So been to Canterbury, Brighton, Marlow and also a weekend to beautiful Cornwall.
This time around though was a bit of a weird experience. The day I went was July 7, yep the day of the bombings in the metro and in one bus. Sixty people died and loads got heavily injured. It happened during morning rush hour and I was to fly at 10pm. I could have cancelled, but I decided I would go instead. I would be picked up from Luton Airport and wouldn't go into the city until the 12th of July, by which time I hoped everything would sort of been okay again. |

And it was. Well some metro lines were partially suspended or not going at all, but London seemed to be business as usual. I already would have expected that since Londoners aren't easily scared. On top of that we cannot allow a couple of terrorists destroy the way we feel secure in our everyday lives. Too bad for them, but if that is what the purpose of their actions was, they did not succeed!!
Anyway again it was a great few days meeting with friends and seeing lots of stuff. London has grown on me even more and I am planning my next trip already! |
