London 2018/19 - Part 1

London Calling

Saturday - December 29th 2018

London is our favourite city and in recent years we established a tradition to spend New Year's Eve there. Of course 2018 was no exception. Since our easyjet flight to London Gatwick departed in the morning, we stayed for one night at the Novotel Munich Airport Hotel. After checkout we took the train to the terminal, where German authorities and airport security caused a mild chaos because of the terribly slow security checks. Luckily we made it early enough through the checks to get a coffee before departure. Our flight left Munich on time and nearly two hours later we arrived at London-Gatwick-Airport. From there we took the train to London Bridge. At first we wanted to get something to eat at Borough Market, but the crowds were insane and so we got some snacks from Pret-A-Manger. Afterwards we started our vacation with some drinks at the Globe Tavern. A couple of drinks later we headed to Wandsworth Town and checked in to our hotel. Like in the years before we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. After unpacking our stuff we checked out the local Sainsbury supermarket and got some snacks for dinner.
