After the SF was over and I roamed spain for a few days, getting to Dortmund from Barcelona was no cheap task, but I found a sweet deal that took me to London for almost a whole day and decided to make the best out of it.

I am going to change a bit my post layout for this one, as I have a lot of pictures and almost no adventure whatsoever to tell you about :(

I met Chris on the plane. We both needed to sleep after being 24 hours awake but the conversation was amazing so neither of us got any rest, but we found a new friend.

She gave me some tips about where, how and why to visit in London.

She is a Harry Potter fan, so she took me to the platform 9 3/4!! The queue was soo long that we decided to just take a quick picture.

Christina went home to sleep and I started to roam the city. I couldn´t fin Wifi to hit up @nanzo-scoop and meet, so I was mainly asking around in stores, but London is soo expensive and neither would give me access to their wifi.
So I started to take some architecture pictures.

It was some sort of Veterans day, I didn´t ask because I didn´t want to sound impolite, but there were at least 200 men dressed up as these guys in the video.

Look at the beauty within this Lake. London is full of Parks but this one was the most beautiful I went to.

When the daylight starts to fade, look at how beautiful London lights up.

I wanted to leave, I had to go to the airport around 8 pm but I couldn´t go without visiting Sherlock Holmes... 221B Baker street.
