London

I made a quick trip to London for work. To be honest, I was not very excited about the trip. For one it was freezing cold in April in London and then there was the part about leaving kuttyma alone. Here are some pictures from my trip.I spent most of my time at work so did not have time for exploring the city. I saw enough to fall in love (the bridges!!!) and ensure I will return soon.

London blew me away for its great mix of the “old” and the “new”. After living in Houston and Singapore – I have forgotten what “old” actually means

The Gherkin aka Easter egg right across from work was something to talk about for sure.

Spotted this sculpture around the Gherkin and it does make you think – Gorilla and a fish? Really?

This could be a scene out of a book – I loved how London seemed to be a collection of scenes from various books I have read over the years

Spring was late this year but it was showing its colors. Patches of flowers popping up were a sight of awe

Every corner had a church and everyone of them looked amazing. This one was right by the hotel I stayed in

Spring has sprung! My last day in London was beautiful – sunshine and relatively warmer temperatures. Most of London was out in the the parks enjoying the sun in their summer best (while I wore multiple layers)
