My trip to London and Rome Part I

Ok this update is long overdue, and as it is 1AM in the morning, its going to be very heavily photo reliant!

After last year’s Glorious Champions League Victory, I thought to myself, my team is great, but no way Man Utd are getting into the final again this year.

I was wrong, and this time, the finals presented an unprecedented opportunity to watch two of the best attacking football teams in the world playing for the top prize in World Football, next to the world cup of course!

So it was to be at 5AM on a Wednesday Morning I believe, that I sent out a text message to all my contacts to ask them to source for tickets. I wasn’t as desperate as last year, and took a “Que Sera Sera” kind of approach to things.

All the way until, I got a phone call from my friend/client, Patricia, from Nike, who said simple, “We are going to Rommmeeee!!!!”

All I heard was a “click” sound in that brain of mine, and I was off to work booking our flights and accomodation. With the flights directly to Rome, being as expensive, as us flying to London first, and then laying off to Rome, that was the option I chose. After all, I would get to visit my favourite city in the world (next to Singapore), good friends, and pat was well excited too, having not been before.

So on Friday morning, the 22nd of May, we were off on SQ319! So anyway, this is where the photos start.

I was the impromptu tour guide for Pat, and took all these photos along the “guided sight seeing tour” using my trusty “BEAST”, the Nikon D700, ohhhh I love u.

Here is the world famous big ben, and the houses of parliament, honestly a sight to behold, at 7Am in the morning! We were jetlagged and got up at 5!

A BMX-er in  a skate park, near the Royal Festival Hall.

Pat’s living room set, was a tad oversized.

The guy down the road resorted to building his own set, out of sand, and got some dosh out of me for his efforts! You see all kinds of things in london.

I love love love absoloutely love love love Borough Market, and we had such an amazing, sausage and bacon bap at 930 in the morning. Glorious.

The fish mongers in London are exactly the same as in Singapore. See what see? Take photo? Buy lah!

Nuttttsssss, and this cheeky english flirter, who was having a good time with his female customers.

Moving on to my second favourite market, Portobello in notting hill!

Paella for lunch!

Pat! I know you had a good time! But dun shag the poor lion already!

Rome and that fateful game next!
