For the last day Kevin (our couchsurfing friend) had the brilliant idea to go to Holland Park with us. We’ve never before been to this park and were completely fascinated by the beauty of it. Parts of it really look like a very lush and wild forest and others are very neetly trimed and stylish like for (…)

Today we spent a lovely day in Kew Gardens. This is really the most amazing park on the planet with aprox 50’000 different plants and also many animals. We spent a great time watching ducks, goslings, peacocks, coots and greedy squirrels. We also enjoyed the newest attraction which is a 18 meter high and 200 (…)

Today the weather was not too great. So Susanna and Keagan took the doubledecker bus and went once again to the London Aquarium while my mother and I visited the National Gallery. For dinner we went again to Gold Mine for a delicious Peking Duck (I wrote about this restaurant last year)

After a nice breakfast at home, Baba and Keagan took the double-decker bus in direction Westminster to catch a boat for some sightseeing on the Themse. Susanna and I went shopping for books, clothes and shoes along Charing Cross Road and Oxford Street. After the boat trip Baba and Keagan went again to the playground (…)

Already last year for my mother’s arrival in London I went to Patogh to get take away food. It was our and her big wish to enjoy again this delicious food. Patogh is a little restaurant (only about 3 metres wide) with only a few tables and two kebab guys working on the fireplace producing (…)

This morning the weather didn’t look that brilliant So we just went on some rides on the pier and packed our luggage. For lunch we went once again to Riddle & Finns and this time Susanna had an amazing seafood risotto while I enjoyed a dover sole. After lunch we headed by train back to (…)

The morning we spent at the beach where we fed the seaguls and were not very successful at catching fish with Keagan’s new net. Then we went to Riddle & Finns for lunch. There we had the most amazing seafood one can imagine. Gordon Ramsay‘s statement about this restaurant was “Seafood as it should be!” (…)

In the morning the weather was really lovely, so Susanna and Keagan went to the beach while I still had to catch up a bit with sleep. Close to the old pier there is lovely playground with small climbing frames plus a huge paddling pool. In the afternoon it was Susanna’s turn so nap, so Keagan (…)

After packing all our luggage, cleaning the appartment and saying goodbye to Trix and the girls we took the train to Brighton. As a special surprise Susanna reserved for us the tower suite in the Queens Hotel and as you can see on the picture the appartment has the most amazing view onto the pier (…)

To indulge a bit in culture we went this morning to the British Museum and did a little dragon hunt through the asian and the american section. Afterwards we enjoyed some delicious sandwiches in the the main hall. In the afternoon we met another couchsurfing family with two girls on the Diana, Princess of Wales’ (…)
