My Third London Trip

by backpackerbaby - last update: Jul 24, 2004

A Bonus...

Gorgeous St Paul & Millenium Bridge
******************************************************************************************************************
Date: 17 - 20 December 2003
Weather: Sunny & Clear for the first 3 days; rainy and cloudy on the last day
Mood: Excited and happy all the time
******************************************************************************************************************

This was actually a bonus stop-over from my flight from Hong Kong to Berlin on British Airways. It's free, why not?

Another bonus from this trip - sunny weather and nice blue sky on the first 3 days. It was so unbelievable but so real!
A street lamp of fabulous design.

New Feeling...

This was my third time in London but this was definitely my first time to travel alone there. Everyth' s so exciting, everyth's so great, everyth's so lovely.

After this trip, I realized that travelling alone in London is absolutely safe even for a solo female backpacker.

All in all, London is a must in everyone's travelling plan. Don't you think so?
Little Venice near Warwick Avenue.

New Discovery...

The advantage of travelling alone is that you can go anywhere at any time you want without the need of discussion or detailed planning. This was totally applied on this trip. Because of the great flexibility, I discovered some beautiful nice places that I haven't been to before...
I was so happy!

Surprisingly, I started to love London.

Cons:"expensive living and unpredictable weather..."
In A Nutshell:"Who said there is only rain in London???"

 Booths advertise half-price tickets but don't deliver anything like that level of discount. The booth in the Crest of London store charged us 25 pounds for 13.50 face-value tickets. When we complained, we got a refund but the operator abused us at length.
