To London :)




My last week started not so good cause , after a wonderful snow-day on the seaside in Brighton, I got ill !! Moreover, my Italian Bank decided to block my card, so I was completely ill and without money :D ..bloody unlucky !!!!

Fortunately the weekend was better, both the health and the money ( not so much) came back!
My friend Eleonora (she is italian and actually she`s studying in London) was waiting for me to spend few days together. So I visited her !!! I was really really happy to see her, i was missing her as friend and as flatmate in Padova. And to see her in London was really weird but really funny !!!

So, friday evening, after a paracetamol pill, I arrived in Victoria. Ele was late (as usual) , and i was waiting for her for only for 1 hour, but i didn`t get angry because I had so much feeling to see her!
Afterwards, we went to the centre of the City, we had a walk to the London Eye (really wonderful) and around... it was the first time I saw London at the night and I was completely shoked by everything:)
Then we went to china town and to Soho, where we spent all the night in some pubs with some new English friends. Since friday night and for all the weekend, we had started to speak English together - or maybe a kind of ENGLISH . I don`t know why, but I remember that saturday night I dreamed something in English :P :)

Saturday was a very very long day, we went to the Tower Bridge, then to Piccadilly Circus and to Oxford street to have window shopping ;).... It was a funny day and also lucky because we have found 10 P next to the street (never happened before in my life!) and we were so happy for us (but not for who has lost it) . We came back home too late to go out at night. We were really tired for the day.

Sunday we went to Buckingham Palace but we lost the changing of the guards cause we were late... Later we spent most of the time in HARRODS :). I like it very much!!

Probably, I've never taken so much pictures as this weekend!
