Wanted that out in the open first.
My trip didn't start great. Me and my mom suppose to take a flight from Antwerp to London. But because of the strake from the day before (15/12) we couldn't leave as planed. Normally we had a flight at 7:15am but the airline company hadn't have planes in Antwerp so non of the flights could leave that day. There was a make-up flight the day after but then we would loose a day. So we booked a flight with an other airline flying from Antwerp. That flight was in the afternoon so we lost a half day anyway. I hope I get some of my money back. I wanted that out of my system before I said anything about my trip itself.
London is amazing. We didn't had a lot of time but I tried to see as much as possible. After we landed we went to our hotel and then directly to Hyde Park for the Winter Wonderland Festival. We did the circus, which was the best start of our trip. We had a chance to relax for a second and realize we were in London. After that we went to a Persian restaurant to eat and then back to our hotel. Day two was a shopping day: Oxford street, Regent street, Carnaby street and Piccadilly Circus. Then back to the hotel to change clothes and back to Picadilly to eat in an amazing steakhouse and than to the nutcracker ballet in the London Colloseum. The last day was short too. We had to leave our hotel at 12:30 to catch our plane home. So in the morning we did are last shopping. Our trip was way to short so we are going back soon. Lots more to see and to do.
Traveling is hard as a photographer because you like to stay at places longer to take better and more beautiful photos. When you are alone are with others that are photographers too there is no problem, when you are with somebody who doesn't take photos it's tricky. They do understand in some way but not for to long they want to move on. I get that you want to see a lot, I want that too. So looking for a balance in seeing a lot and taking photos is not easy. It's even harder when you are there for the first time. You don't know the best angles to take the best photo yet. It's a learning curve I know, but here are my best shots. The photos from Winter wonderland and the circus are to follow.
