Discovering Barbican





These days I have been wandering around London a LOT :)

I loved the random walks with no direction hehehe..the occasional stops for coffee when we get too cold to walk any further, then ending the day with a meal with friends.
This week we have walked a lot a lot. Me and Louisa walked from Trafalgar Square all the way to Fulham Broadway the other day - it took us a total of 2 hours. With two stops along the way (we warmed ourselves up in some shops, it was too cold!). And we decided to walk along the river (passed a total of five bridges), which was lovely in the scenes - but NO bus passing by. Was very satisfied when we finally reached Fulham! hohoho.

Last week I discovered as well that Millenium Bridge is also super nice,, the one heading to St Paul's from Tate Modern. Yaya and me walked around St.Paul Cathedral area yesterday. He was photo-hunting for his portfolio, then we walked randomly around the area. Had hot chocolate at Paul's in St Paul, then finally we ended up in Barbican Arts Centre. I absolutely LOVED that place :) !! The whole area is very peaceful, and they have this library in the middle that hosts a wide range of fiction books and manga. Definitely will come back there! Ends the day with dinner together with Manda, Artati and Irma. Kojo reunited for one last time :)
