London – Anreise und ein paar übliche Sehenswürdigkeiten
Übers Faschings-Wochenende gings nach London. Das letzte Mal war vor knapp 20 Jahren noch mit der Schule, krass, hört sich das schon irgendwie verdammt alt an 🙂 Am frühen Nachmittag kam ich im Hotel im coolen Stadtviertel Soho an und bin sogleich losmaschiert Richtung Westminster und Big Ben. Abends noch einige Fotos unter anderem am Piccadilly Circus gemacht und da in der Ecke auch verdammt lecker indonesisch gegessen – erster Abend und gleich unsere Stammkneipe für die nächsten Abend gefunden, yesss! 🙂
