Hello everybody !

I would like to introduce you to my fabulous trip in London ! I visited this fascinating city during the summer of 2016 and i enjoyed it so much that i decided to write a little bit about my experience there ! 

First of all i will focus my attention on the first day; I took the plane from Corsica to Nice and then Nice to London Gatwick. I arrived at 7pm i rememeber those detailes  as if it was yesterday ahah. Indeed i was not supposed to know that Gatwick was a big airport,  that's why I lost myself. oh yeah , i did not mention that i went  to London alone by myself . As i stood waiting for a taxi outside the airport, it was immediately apparent to me that London was not the same as my little town in France, i mean the loud and constant sounds of cars honking was heard throughout my entire stay in London, but is was not a problem of course, London is said to be a booming place by the way ! So I took the taxi from the airport to my hotel, it was in London Center, it's was really beautiful, I spent good nights in !

Well, for the first day I arrived, I visited differents places of London like Piccadilly Circus, Tower Bridge or Harrods !! Indeed the building of London were an incredible sight and eye-catching i have to confess and the one which describes perfectly this idea is none other than The Big Ben which is the emblem i would say and the reason why i wanted to go there first . 

 I Stayed more than 1 week and I went alone, I like being alone when I travel.  I took more than hundreds of photos as i was very pleased to be there  ! 

Indeed, London is one of the most diverse cities, i mean there is always something for everyone, for instance The following day, I ate in an Idian restaurant called " Taj Mahal" situated in an Indian district ! London has wonderful variety of restaurants, i walked down one street, i could eat chinese food very good and low price. The waitresses were so generous, and they gave me nouns of beautiful Parks, not far from London Center. That park was Trafalgar Square ! I knew the name, but I didn't knonw where it was !!! I took the bus, and I arrived there, I took at least twenty photos. After this, I went back to my hotel !

For the last day, I did shoppingand shopping  everywhere from the morning to the after-noon ! For my shopping, i went in Chelsea, it was expensive but I wasn't disappointed ! it is very expensive there !! 

To finish i would say that this experience was very interesting and allowed me to discover a town (that i had never seen before) and a way of life that is totally different from where i come from.
