A crazy Weekend on an expensive Island

I came back from London yesterday and I am still so exhausted. Lets say I did not sleep much over there and I drank too much...
I arrived on Saturday morning, after I had to get up at 4am to be on time at the airport...Gary picked me up at Victoria, we went to his place where I met Anna from Ireland, such a great person! So during the day we went to the Tower of London and saw the Crown Jewels (but I don't believe that the ones a visitor sees are the real ones). It was really interesting inside of the Tower with all its museums. The other times that I have been to London I have not been inside of anything, except from the Dungeon.
Well, we finished the day with waiting for our table in an Indian restaurant. We had to wait for about 2 hours so we passed our time by drinking 3 bottles of wine (the three of us). As if that was not enough there was beer in the restaurant (and a yummy curry!!!!) and when we returned we drank some German booze. I brought Weizenkorn, which is similar to vodka, as a present for my host and the next morning I could not believe that we drank the whole bottle!!!! But well, I learned my lesson with my big hangover. I would love to show you some pics of that day, but unfortunately Gary deleted all my pics on the camera. He only intended to delete one where he thought he would look ugly but in his state of drunkeness he must have deleted them all. AAAAAAHHH, so annoying!!!!
So the next day we walked to Greenwich and from there we went on a boat along the Thames and passed the Tower Bridge and Big Ben.

We walked to Trafalgar Square and I have to say that London is such a big but beautiful city. I would not like to live there though, I am too much a country girl for that. The weather was cloudy on that day so now all the pictures I have are very dark and not sunny :(
In the evening I saw Heather and Mark, friends I know from Australia who I have not seen for nearly 2 years as well. It has been great to chat and talk about old times, but in the end I was just sooo lucky to hit my pillow.
So yesterday I returned and slept like a baby last night.
Thank you Gary for having me visit, and hopefully see you in Germany next year :)

So I enjoyed my crazy weekend and now I am back to reality, my new semester starts in a week and I have to prepare a few chemistry experiments. Plus there is my English literature examination next months. Well, at least it keeps me busy and stops me from spending too much money. lol.
