Kensington Gardens, Goodbye London

My last day in London was hungover. Very rarely do I go to a club that requires high heels and eye makeup – that’s not really the scene here in Amsterdam. But one of my very favorite ladies in London, Roshni, is a Mayfair princess, and has a habit of treating me to the swankiest nights out when I’m in town. Last year we danced the night away on a table at Jalouse, and this year, she introduced me to Project, another posh night club in London with awesome house music and flowing drinks. The night was amazing and fuzzy. The following morning was rough. Admirably, Roshni got up to catch an early train down to Paris. After a strong cup of tea, I set off to meet up with B for our final afternoon in London. The sky was oddly bright, and I was in need of a good dose of fresh air, so we decided to stroll through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens before catching our train.  We met at Marble Arch, picked up yet another coffee, and headed into the park. While the sun was scarce, we did get a happy glimpse of blue sky. We strolled through the length of Hyde Park, and then on to Kensington Gardens. All of the trees and flowers were just on the verge of blooming. The grounds were manicured and fresh – just waiting for spring.  The gardens were beautiful, and the fresh air was delicious – the perfect cure for a fuzzy head! Even the litter bins were pretty!
After a long stroll we left the park and headed for Kings Cross. We emerged from the park in a beautiful neighborhood, and decided that if we ever live in London, it would be here.  We arrived at Kings Cross / St. Pancras just as darkness set. The hotel next to the train station is absolutely beautiful, and is quite a sight all lit up at night. We wandered through the station, and after one final pit stop in M&S, we hopped on our train, just in time. Hello train goodies / hungover dinner! Goodbye London, you were wonderful and we can’t wait to see you again sometime soon!
