A weekend in London

 I am like the worst blogger ever...or maybe I just have too much on my mind to write anything even remotely interesting...
In January I took a little trip to London. London is one of my favorite places on this planet. I used to go there all the time (in another lifetime, it seems now)...and quite honestly I can't remember the last time I went there...I am not even sure it was in this century O.o
But, well, London was waiting for me...with bright sunshine (!) and warm weather (!) in January.
That trip made me so happy. I hardly took any photos because I was so immersed in the whole experience.
 Some of my old "haunts" had gone, some were still there ... hello, vegetarian restaurant in Covent Garden...and oddly enough, the only Crocs store in London is almost right in front of it.
 I had tea at  Jamie Oliver's Diner, because I cannot NOT go to a dinosaur themed restaurant. Cheesecake was perfect and the place was not a disappointment. They even have some embroidery dino scenes on the walls (but my photos are too blurry).
I cannot think of any other towns where I enjoy walking aimlessly even half as much. Hopping on and off a bus , taking the tube...the tube, I even missed the tube...seeing all those familiar station names passing by...the peculiar smell of the London tube... Many people must have thought I was high, sitting there with a large dreamy smile on my face...
And getting room 42 at the hotel...cherry on the cake...

You have quite a collection of cat things to travel with, also :) I wish to explore London -- if only I could!
