Day 21 of 21 - London

The last day of the trip was spent in our most favourite country of all - London!

Started our day in beautiful Soho for lunch at Gail's Artisan Bakery:





Coffee was just right. Mushroom ragu had a combination of goat's cheese and mushroom served on toast and spinach. Maple bacon brioche was a real treat! #omnomnom 




Cutter & Squidge for dessert! Everything on their display is simply too good-looking for consumption.. We ordered their honeycomb cake and pistachio, raspberry and rose biskies! Not too overly sweet but I think we had a hard time trying to finish everything. 

London is so insanely expensive. Ok more like the exchange rate is. A full cake cost abt 50 pounds, that's like 100 SGD!! 



My tour guide and I, hur hur.... (Bernard wouldn't stop saying that I looking a sotong who just woke up, ugh)





Pls don't judge the denim on denim outfit, all my other clothes were in the washing machine (which we took a gazillion years to figure out how to use lul). Sweater and Jacket belongs to Bernard, peace. 




Basically spent the first half of our day doing what we do best, EATING! Fraq's lobster shack was like a budget Burger's & Lobster. I wouldn't recommend this place even though their mini lobster roll is only 10 pounds.. 



It was the last day in London (and of the trip) and because we spent most of our time shopping, it's kind of ridiculous that we haven't seen the Tower Bridge so off we went! 





holy macaroni









What an amazing icon of London!! So photogenic and beautiful :-) 

Off to dinner after! One place I wanted to try so bad was Dishoom but the queue was always sooo long but since it was our last day, we decided to queue (almost an hour) for it. 





Don't ask my why the pictures are so saturated, the lighting was so terrible and this was the best hahaha. And very SADLY, the food was just average though I really like their cocktails.

Yes, it's crazy that I took 5 months to finish blogging about my 3 weeks vacation. Three weeks - three countries and  six cities. I feel like the more I blog about this vacation, the more I miss it so much (especially London). This trip fundamentally changed my life. I basically worked my ass off over the span of six months with 3 to 4 odd jobs while balancing school and life, saved $5000 and went there to live the life. Was it worth it? More than. Till the next trip x

"This trip definitely changed my life, and my advise to everybody is to do it. Save your money, pack your bags, go do the dream trip you've always wanted to do while you still can, because it will inspire so much of you to grow, to become who you want to be, to motivate you to keep going for more. Don't hesitate, and take the leap of faith. The best thing money can buy you is the opportunity for life changing experience, so go out and get it for yourself."
