As I recover from my visit to the city of my dreams... just thought I'll upload a few pictures to give you a fair idea of all the things I did and places I visited whilst there... Its been one great trip, full of fun and camaraderie. A well rounded two weeks, where I ended up catching up with old friends, making delightful new ones, taking in a musical at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane (this place is in Covent Garden and has been in existance since 1663!!!), visiting the Tate (they had an exhibition of Edward Munch's paintings, the man painted his life story, a very moving exhibit and an absolute must see), window shopping at Bond Street, Oxford Street and Harrods (well, my salary post conversion will not buy me anything decent (anything naughty being even more expensive was totally out of question) at Harrods SOB...SOB), shopping at Portabello street (picked up a picure that is over a 100 year old!!!) and at London Burroughs Market (apparently this is the oldest market in all of London), walking across all the bridges I possibly could; London Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge, Westminster Bridge. Visits to Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Notting Hill, O2 (where some of the Olympic games were held), also managed to catch some action at the Olympics, was part of the crowd, waving madly as the participants of the Men's Marathon went by, and generally soaking in the sights and sounds of the city I have come to love!!!
A truly cosmopolitan city that embraces people from all walks of life and is super SAFE, ask me, I went alone for the musical and once it ended at a little after 10 in the night, spent the next hour or so just walking around taking in the sights of the city at night (something that I would never ever do in Mumbai)!!! So here are the pictures, Enjoy!!!
