Travel: City of London

While my Chicken Tinola boils, I'm posting some of my favorite photos taken in London. I'm finally able to scratch London from my dream list, but I'd certainly love to go back there again and hang out with my cousin.

Mahalo! (Thank you!)

Travel: Hyde Park, London

Friday is finally here. I've been itching to post my recent travel photos, but work and life in general isn't letting me. My trip to London and Paris was wonderful, a really needed and deserved break for me. For a week, I immersed myself into London and Paris life. Yeah, as if a week is enough. Special thanks goes to my cousin, Ivy, for taking me around London. I hope we can do it all over again.

The first batch of photos will be from Hyde Park, which is walking distance from the area where I stayed - Bayswater. My hotel was accessible through the Bayswater Station, walking distance to Kensington, the Portobello Markets, Notting Hill and Hyde Park.

The Round Lake

Royal Albert Hall

Tribute to Prince Albert

The simple yet flowing Princess Diana Memorial Fountain

Birds enjoying sanctuary at The Serpentine

Dog waste only (This one really cracked me up.)

A favorite - Peter Pan

Nicely trimmed garden and a bench to rest my weary feet

Happy weekend!
