London Day 1 & 2

We spent 4 days in London, which is actually only 3 days because we allocated another day for Cambridge day trip. Something ridiculous just happened to my friends and I when we landed at the London City Airport. I just felt like every time I landed in London, there must be something bad happened. First time is that I missed a connecting flight because my flight to London delayed and it is the last flight of the day, there is no train running at that time as well. I have no choice but try to sleep at the airport and wait for the next morning train to Edinburgh. And this time, it is delayed luggage. I can't believe that the pilot instructed the crews to take down some luggage so it is not overweight to fly. What is the point when your provide that luggage allowance for everybody and it is over weighted in the end. and you know what, I have no luggage for the 4 days trip in London, imaging when you have no chargers for phone and camera, toiletries, cosmetics and some necessary items with you. Luckily, I shifted some fresh clothes into my hand carry bag. I only managed to get my luggage back when it is more than 2 weeks after the trip and there is no compensation from the airline. City jet, you really amazed me. -.-  

Fine, enough of city jet. let's proceed with the trip in London. ;D I love London, I love Edinburgh, I love UK. love, love, love. The people are friendly, courteous and nice. and most importantly, the weather! I love the subway too. Everytime I entered into King Cross, it is a bliss to travel and to hear the announcement: Please mind the gap between the train and the platform.

and we managed to find our lunch spot! It is Burger & Lobster. *saliva dripping again



There is only 3 meals on the menu, whole lobster, lobster burger and beef burger. So, I don't have dilemma picking what to have for lunch. The servers are so nice to help me recharge my phone. 


The Lobster Burger, yum yum!


The whole lobster, my friend spent like an hour to dissect the lobster. LOL
