Again in London (again)

For the second time in the last two weeks, I have spent a weekend in London, as, again, I had a working meeting there. This time I chose a hotel in South Kensington, my favourite area in London, and I was delighted by it; nothing to do with the "cave" I booked in my previous stay.
I must admit I did not do much during the weekend. It was wonderful just walking around London without a clear route. Under this approach, I was in Harrods, watching everything I cannot buy and drooling a little bit in their delicatessen shop; afterwards, I went to Buckingham Palace (where I came across the parade in the picture above) and Houses of Parliament, to check the state of politics at London. Needless to say, I had to pay my complimentary visit to the Waterstone bookshop in Trafalgar Square. Then, in the evening, I walked towards the British Museum, where I visited the mummies and other "British" treasures they have there.

On Sunday I was feeling even more relaxed and I decided to go to Hyde Park and walk around it. It was partially sunny (quite sunny for London standards) and I really enjoyed the walk. After some days of much work, I felt I just needed to go for a walk and switch off my brain for a while.The meeting on Monday was not remarkable in any aspect. I returned from London City Airport together with my work colleagues, but in two different planes. My flight with British Airways needed 15 minutes more than theirs with Lufthansa to reach Frankfurt; apparently, all fats are usually travelling British Airways, ja, ja, ja.

As you see, this has probably been my most relaxing weekend trip to London in quite a long time. But I must admit I would like to repeat it in the future.
