I was back in London the past few days for a seminar and spent the weekend hanging out with my friend Maciek.

London is such a busy city.  At some point in the busy Monday morning, i just found myself amazed by the rush of people to get on and off trains, speed walking their way out of the stations to get to their offices. 

Simply negotiating my way around the tubes exhausted me. Then again i’ve been out and about since Wednesday flying around the continent. First in Hamburg then Rotterdam where i had to run to Amsterdam for my flight to London.

It was a heck of a week. I was simply glad to have reached the weekend.  I stayed at Maciek’s place in Rotherhithe for the weekend.  As he was moving places that same day, I gladly helped move some stuff as well.

Sunday was supposed to be spent just going around the city.  Our feet eventually led us in front of Albert Memorial.  The picture is just facing outside of Royal Albert Hall.  Me and Maciek were waiting for the start of a concert. We watched Classical Spectacular which is a compilation of the best classical pieces along with some pyrotechnic and lights show.

The show was splendid. Looking at the program, I did not recognize a lot of the titles before the concert started. But it turned out that i knew most of the pieces from before.

This is the reason I love coming to London. So much shows to watch, so little time.

I have already scheduled another trip back in May…
