This Time Last Year: London | Loni touhle dobou: Londýn

Image
As soon as the warmer spring air arrives, I always catch the travel bug. However, having just started a new job, traveling will not be an option for a while yet. So, with nostalgia, I turn to memories and photos from my last trip to London, which I took about a year ago, just after leaving my old job . I've got a bunch of photos for you here, how about that?  Vždycky když přijde teplejší jarní vzduch, dostanu cestovní horečku. Nicméně tentokrát, protože jsem začala nové zaměstnání, musím na cestování ještě nějakou chvíli zapomenout. A tak se s nostalgií obracím k fotkám a vzpomínkám na svůj poslední výlet do Londýna, což bylo asi před rokem, když jsem skončila ve staré práci . Mám pro vás nějaké fotky, co vy na to? It was my third time going on a solo trip to London and the best one yet! It involved a lot of bookshopping, aimless wandering around, also guided walks, seeing long distance friends and culture. Wait. This needs a song. Bylo to potřetí, co jsem se sama v...

London Extra | Maree's Collection of Handsome Guitar Boys

Image
Major throwback to summer 2014. You know, that time I went to London and never finished my blog posts on the trip. Well, I'm going to London again. Very soon! Turns out, that's what I needed to kick me into finishing all these. Even though it's strange seeing how much of a different person I am now, but I feel like I need to stay to true to the notes I wrote down 2 years ago. I promise that this time around I will be wiser and make a more realistic blog post plan. Back to the lovely day on South Bank . This is an extra music-y blog post about all the lovely buskers along the Thames that made me smile and generally made my life much better that day. It's no secret that music plays and important part in my life and these boys provided a much needed comfort to me, for which I shall be eternally grateful. If you enjoy acoustic guitars, click below to check them out and have a listen. 

London Extra | Shakespeare's Globe

Image
For all you lovers of theatre and Shakespeare, here is another travel themed London throwback to when I visited Shakespeare's Globe theatre. It happened on a very sunny Friday, almost exactly a year ago. ou can read about what else I did on that day here .  When I got to the Globe, I wasted no time, went pretty much straight in and got myself a ticket :) I didn’t even mind spending £ 13,50. Since I didn’t get the HT T-shirt the night before , I decided that I deserved a treat. And I knew visiting The Globe would make me happy :) And I deserved that and owed it to myself :)

London Adventure IV.: A Day of Sunshine, Shakespeare, Guitar Boys & Westminster

As promised in my previous post , here comes the foolish attempt to finish my London stories before the 1 year anniversary of the trip. If you are new here (Hellooo and welcome!) and want to read up more about the London adventure, check out the TRAVEL label. I feel like I need to reiterate that these posts are in no way trying to objecitvely tell you what London is like and what to do when you visit. This is all heavily based on my (very) detailed travel diary, which, as diaries go, is a very subjective account of my personal experience and thoughts. Filtered to be fit for the public eye, obviously. And it's quite long. If the words bore you, look at the photos ;) *timey wimey wheezing noise of the tardis* Day 4: 6th June 2014 (Fri) Waking up, I decided that today seemed like a good day to Globe :) and to South Bank :) I wanted to get going as soon as I could, because the guided tours in The Globe Thetre run only until 12:30 and I had no idea how busy it w...
