Girls trip to London is ok. I don't mind. It was even still summery over there. Only 1,5 - 2 hours flight from Bergen, and pretty cheap, this was a perfect destination for a weekend. I took Monday off from work, and had three whole days to enjoy and relax.
 |
| We stayed at the Prince William Hotel. Not fancy, with a crappy breakfast, but it was clean and not that bad. I shared a room with Oddrun, and we got a room on the 5th floor. The elevator was out of order, of course. |
 |
| The morning view from our room. Even blue sky, something that is not too common in Bergen. |
 |
| Åsrun and Oddrun, ready for shopping the first day! |
 |
| We met up with Peter, a wonderful Maltese friend of mine, and had lunch at Covent Garden. From the left is Rannveig, Åsrun, Oddrun, I, Peter and Linn. I know most of them from my study days in Trondheim. Oddrun is a childhood friend, and Rannveig is also from back home. |
 |
| Peter and Åsrun at the marked at Covent Garden. |
 |
| Peter and I found some delicious chocolate, and then some macaroons. |
 |
| Shopping is good, but chocolate and coffee is even better. We simply sat down in the middle of a tiny round about, enjoyed our snack, and people watched. |
 |
| Dinner time and we ended up with some moroccan food. It was so delicious! We even got a show from a belly dancer! She was in contrast to all the ladies covered in shawls. They all seemed to enjoy the show, though. |
 |
| Next morning, bright sunshine! We stayed just by Kensington Gardens, and Oddrun and I walked down there when we finally got up Saturday morning. The others caught up after a while, and we relaxed a little bit before searching for breakfast. I have to mention that London was full of Norwegians this weekend, we heard them just about everywhere! |
 |
| Breakfast as it should be served! Even the toast was good... |
 |
| Late for the show, in a real English taxi! |
 |
| One of the sights we saw....sightseeing was not on the menu this weekend. |
 |
| Lion King, on the other hand, was on the menu! |
 |
| Taking pictures is not allowed...but I got to keep it. |
 |
| Peter and I outside the theater. |
 |
| Then off to eat lunch. We ended up in a french restaurant close to Covent Garden. |
 |
| Burned chicken with awesome vegetables. I complained and got a discount. |
 |
| Walking towards the Thames, being watched by a giant fox. |
 |
| We ended up in a british pub, with swedish speaking bartenders. They were super nice, and gave us a lot of tastings. |
 |
| With the Thames in the back ground, and Sylvia and Oddrun in the front. Sylvia is a friend from my time in the DR, and she met up with us on Sunday. |
 |
| Rannveig and Åsrun |
 |
| Not easy taking pictures of ourselves. Sylvia, Linn and I, having a great time! |
 |
| Another try... |
 |
| London Eye!!! |
 |
| Monday was shopping day. But I met up with Sylvia for lunch. She took me to a running sushi restaurant! Loving it! |
 |
| The Rubias |
 |
| As it turned out, British people are not that obedient to the law as I expected. |
 |
But it is still like being on the set of a movie, since it is like you have seen in all the movies...kind of ironic, in a nice way.
 |
| My last day, and the whole weekend for that matter, passed by way too fast! There are so many more things I want to do in London, so I hope I'll be coming back in not too long! I got to experience this concert, thought. He was pretty good... |
