London

Once the epicenter of the world. The world once belonged to this country. They laid foot in all parts of the world and drank Earl Grey next to the Himalayas, the Caribbean Sea, while fighting pirates at sea, in the sand, next to giraffes and in  a Chinese noodle shop.
The historic significance is all over you face in this city. But even so, they are able to translate perfectly into modern times. Skyscrapers next to stone churches. All different ethnicity's are represented  - mostly Asian.

I landed after a stopover in Dubai at Heathrow. I put my backpack in a luggage storage facility out of the space age attended by an Eastern European women and I paid a similar amount as I usually pay for accommodation. Then the tube brought me to Piccadilly circus. I walked around and soon noticed that all pedestrians in London seem to be tourists. I visited Trafalgar square, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament, Buckingham Palace, The National Art museum, Tower Bridge, Hyde Park, Harrods, downtown, the walk along the Themes and many more not so famous things you are bound to bump into - basically did what every tourist does. In the evening everybody heads to the pubs or home into the suburbs.
I ate from the supermarket which almost allows you to eat enough for the same amount as in a restaurant in Africa.
In the evening I had blisters from walking the whole day and slept on a bench at the airport. Next day I was off to Tallinn.
