buy food in the markets!

where to stay?
Lower your standards. It's tough to find a well-reviewed hotel in London for less than $250 a night, and that's with no frills. Anyone with limited means and a heavy touring schedule should look at two- or three-star lodging. Why book a luxury hotel if all you will do...

London transport

To come back
As I told you, last week I visit my ex-erasmus-town London and my uni there. It was a great experience, we were only 4 of the 9 original Spanish people but we enjoyed it as much as we could. It was at the same time sad, remember all the things from last year and knowing...
