London by train
Walked to Minli heavy bag, super heavy and tiring. sweat like a pig.
when I reached, it was quite a lovely area.Talked to concierge. She passed me the key to her room and opened the main door for me. I went inside. Checked in.
i Rested for awhile before heading out. Didn't shower but freshen up.
when I walked out and ready to lock the door, I Couldn't! I got nervous and shit cos I thought I broke the lock. Stucked there for fifteen mins. then later I found out that there's a technique to locking the dokr. zzzz. Minli taught me
headed towards Tower Bridge. Bought chips along the way from a petrol kiosk. Yumsss salt and vinegar.
Took photo there and got this American Chinese solo backpacker asked me take for her.
Wanted to go in the hms ship but felt the price was a bit steep (not value for money)
Freaking cold as was windy and drizzling.
Went past Borough... Then head to the national gallery.. Was enjoyable. but at that time it was closing already so I only spent like 10-15mins inside.
i walked around that area a bit more. Checked out the leicester square, found where the book of Mormon theatre is. Saw some celebs at Leicester square. I think I saw Gemma arterton n bill nighy.
while waiting to see minli could make it for dinner, I drank a pint of beer at montiqueku.
Dinner had burgers and lobster. Wanted to jio Minli but she was occupied so I makan myself. Ordered burger and lobster. Freaking full! I should have ordered lobster only or the lobster burger.
Walked around and head to Big Ben and Westminster, saw the eye of London.
Head home. Got some drinks (ciders) and chat abit with Minli, showered, slept on uncomfortable couch. Didn't sleep well. Minli wasn't well also so didn't chat much with her. She made me green tea Haha.
Woke up, followed Minli to work. The path passing the canals was nice.
borough breakfast. Had pulled pork bread (not so nice), bought brownies/cookies and juice. Yums!
