Road trip pt. 6 - London

After cruising through France, Belgium and The Netherlands we decided to go to London. Yes, you’ve read it right – London. We reserved a ferry and a hotel about 20km outside of London.

Mr. Starlight said: Why not, we’re pretty near so why shouldn’t we drive over there?


The ferry which took us to The United Kingdom. The "legendary" Norman Trader.


The view from our seats inside the ferry


The first few kilometres were a bit spooky. I know that some of you who are reading this are from the UK so I have a question for all of you: Do you know that you drive on the wrong side of the road? Don’t get me wrong – it was much fun and I enjoyed it a lot.


Me on the Piccadilly Circus


Me in front of the Tower Bridge


On the Trafalgar Square


This is how I look when I’m tired and hungry


The Westminster Palace; I love this building, it’s magnificent


Don’t mess with me ;)


The London Eye


Gluten-free chocolate cake from Marks and Spencer’s; it was unbelievably tasty.


I just figured out that we don’t have a lot of pictures from London. Don’t ask me why… So I decided that we’ll have to go back there soon because I want more pictures!
We really had an awesome time there and I loved it! I hope that the next time I come to the UK I’ll have a chance to meet some of my favorite bloggers ;)

  1. Glad you enjoyed your time in London :) I drove through Trafalgar Square tonight and was watching the visitors taking photos and having fun and thought I really need to spend more time in London as a tourist. If you come back to visit let me know - I don't live in London but often visit for work.

  5. Your pictures are just getting better and better. Driving on the left side does take some getting used to, but imagine people driving on that bridge between Honkong and China, they have to switch sides on the bridge!

    Lovely post. More?

  6. @Louba - We (sadly) often don't see the beauty of the country we live in because "it's our home".
    I will most definitively inform you when I'll come in the UK next time; I would love to meet you!

    @Doria : I hope you'll have a chance for a road trio around Europe some day, it's really beautiful!

    @WCOTFT - Thanks. Mr. Starlight took that picture; he actually took most of the pictures because I was too busy being impressed by everything I saw. =)

    @Cinderita - I also love London, it's amazing!

    @Shopgirl - Thanks. I think that Mr. Starlight should be a photographer since you all love all the pictures he took ;)
    I loved driving on the wrong side, it was a great experience. Next time I go there I want to drive on the wrong side of the street with the steering wheel on the wrong side, I'm sure it would be even better!

  13. Adorable pics!!! You look so cute!!! I've never been to London, but it looks like fun--I watch so many BBC shows, I kinda feel like I should go and see where all of these places actually are over there.
