London calling

Ullo ullo ullo, what’s all this then?

Big Ben. Not that big, actually.

I survived my Ausflug to London, and did not end up spending NYE floating in the Thames, clutching a bottle of vodka. In fact, the whole trip was rather sedate and terribly polite.  Londoners are a total breath of fresh air, compared to Berliners!

I bought the absolute cheapest tickets that I could find, which meant that I spent more time on public transport getting to and from airports than I did in the air itself.  Furthermore, my flight to London was delayed by an hour.  I love Ryanair.

Regardless, I’ve been back for a couple of weeks, now.  This means, of course, that the whole trip there seems like some sort of distant dream.

London is a great city.  I could certainly see myself living there. I probably even stand a greater chance of employment there than here in Berlin.  In fact, I registered with a recruitment agency that specialises in finding jobs for librarians while I was there. Wish me luck!

St Paul's

What did I do? What did I see? Lots of things! Museums! Architecture! A big black box where someone warned me before I smacked into a wall! There’s some photos over in the Photos section. I’m feeling a little too lazy to make this post a properly enjoyable one.

So move along, nothing to see here.

Oliver Cromwell! Pretty girl!

PS many thanks to my awesome hostess Lisa, who put up with me for a week.
