Shopping in London! What an adventure! This is definitely something you have to afford yourself once in a while. The last time I was there I was about 4 years old. And all I remember is, that we rented a boat to sail along the river Thames, and that I jumped from this boats roof right onto the fire extinguisher and somehow laid the entire boat in white powder. It was good luck that I was too young to help seriously cleaning (it was definitely more fun watching ;-) .

Later on (about 20 years later) I heared from a couple of friends that London is a nice city. I heared about Hyde Park, the Tower of London, the Paddington Station, the motion-less guards of the Buckingham Palace. But somehow I have always had this funny image about London in my mind like: "London? London! You know: Bad food, bad weather, Marry fu**in' Poppins!?" It never really got to me.

However, now that Anne convinced me to go there - she is really addicted to it - I have to admit, that I seriously developed the taste for it. The huge music stores, book and toy shops, endless parks, multicultural lively shopping streets, etc. I knew already on the second day, that I will come back to London later again.

To make it short, here is a list of things that we did or saw, and which we somehow really liked:

London is a cool city giving lots of different good impressions. This city has something for every taste and for every mood. I am looking forward to go there again to continue exploring, what we have only scratched the surface of.
