Since I have friend lives in Nottingham, she was willing to travel to London, stay one night with me. She brought me around London, and of course eat delicious foods too!
I guess, it's really always a struck when I saw beautiful part of Europe. Just the building itself really amuse me. I mean I can find those buildings somewhere in Indonesia (especially those old buildings left by Dutch), but in Indonesia those buildings are not well maintained so you wouldn't be able to see the beauty.
Ok, back to London. On the first day, my friend brought me around especially those tourist spots and also we had dinner at Ippudo!
So here we go for all the pictures on the first day! It was raining for whole morning, hence when it stops, blue skies! I was so blessed to be able to capture this beauty :)
London Eye
Sok-sok candid
Silhouette of Big Ben
Went to M&Ms World! Biggest store I've seen!
Buckingham Palace filled with tourists
And of course me posing!
Soho! Next visit I'm so gonna watch this!
Je t'aime Amorino! Pick flavors as much as you want! Pistachio is a must!
Ippudo London~
On the 2nd day, I had breakfast with my friend at train station, we were exploring around the area. St Pancras and Kingscross station. Not only that, I managed to take picture at the Platform 9 3/4!
Brunch at Carluccio's, I have to admit their brunch are cheap, less than 10 bucks for all portion!

Inside St Pancras - I was just too amazed with its architectural
Yeay! Finally Platform 9 3/4! Next visit I'm so gonna wear Ravenclaw's!
And now, the single traveller begins and all the weird pic that I tried to put myself (my head) into the picture :')
While on my way to British Museum
British Museum entrance
Yeay! That's me - not so weird right?
View from bus - on my way to Trafalgar Square
If you asked me if I really prepared for this trip, I could say none. I'm really lazy to find out where to go those kind of stuff, I prefer to just go wherever I want, suddenly find ideas or research while I'm over there. Sometimes, I do regret for not doing research as I can even fully utilize my time. But, I guess I'm more enjoying to be spontaneous so I can control my expectation.
Not only that, I learnt to be more relax, not too intense in every single thing.
Trafalgar Square
London Eye in evening
Well yes, after I went all the way for each places, I went to see London Eye again and Big Ben just to catch its night view and lights. Sunset comes pretty late so I have to wait under cold weather, it was 18 celcius or even lower until I can't feel my finger. Summer but its cold.
After all my sacrifices, I felt proud of myself that I was brave enough and also thank God for His protection.
I was really happy that I had courage to travel around by myself, enjoy travel time by myself and I made it as starting point for more adventures to come.
Every time I feel discourage, I guess I should remember how this trip put up my courage.
That's me again! This time a Russian stranger helped me :)
See the beauty? :)
Ok, last pic~
'til next destination~
XOXO
