Travel~ Travel~ London - 9th May 2008

"Big Ben" Clock Tower & the Palace of Westminster

Although most of this day was spent again on the bus from Paris to London, my spirits were still very high. The excitement of meeting V for the 1st time after 20 years made the journey bearable. V had searched for me on Facebook and found me last November. We had been updating on each other's lives online and planned for this meeting for a few months. This trip for me was a "hit 2 birds with 1 stone" kind of trip; ie. to tour Europe with hubby and meet V. No wait, I think it was "hit 3 birds with a stone" because hubby also met his long lost primary school friend here in London! V flew in from Munich where she's residing with husband and son to meet me in London. How sweet~ :D
We met at Oxford Street, had tea, met another friend of hers J at Piccadilly Circus and then we all walked to Westminster area. There we saw the Westminster Abbey, the "Big Ben", the Palace of Westminster and also the London Eye. So much to see around but even more to talk about with each other. 4 Singaporeans, all living overseas with different purposes. Who knows when and where we will all meet again?
