since we all had different things planned during the day we mostly met up in the evenings for meals. friday night we were in covent garden at an indian restaurant called masala zone. can’t say it was great, very commercialised and westernised, but edible. plus my mango bellini made up for it a bit! felt like a mini reunion from mexico as theo decided to join us as well!

then on saturday i managed to get everyone together in camden. went to sen nin, an amazing japanese restaurant. we got lucky and managed to get a table for 7 even without reservations. had teppanyaki and watched the cook make food right in front of us. ate pretty much everything on my plate, and don’t even want to think about what the bill was like…

then last night i went to dinner with the jerome’s to say goodbye as they flew back to the states today, ate at a restaurant in mayfair. italian food, and honestly.. how can you go wrong with italian food? mozzarella and tomato starter with parma ham and melon. then i had crab ravioli as a main course. was a bit olily, but then again edible no?! plus the wine made it all go down very nicely.

feels like its back to reality now, but then again im in sweden this weekend celebrating midsummer so maybe not!

had such a busy weekend with my father here and i loved every minute of it! on friday evening we went and saw Jersey boys a west end musical.

it wasn’t bad but the music isn’t really my generation, or my fathers for that matter. so towards the end everything just shouldn’t the same to me. but worth seeing if you’re into that kind of music!

Saturday during the day we just walked around london to see various things. walked all the way from marylebone, down to marble arch. through green park, past buckingham palace, down to pimlico and saw the london eye and westminster abbey.

then walked back from trafalgar square to my flat! even saw winston churchill perving on my father by bond street…

talk about being tired before going out to dinner and the pub..

the whole time we were in paris the weather was pretty okay, not too warm but not too cold. then of course the 3 hours that we were gonna spend on the eiffel tower it rained and was so windy and cold!

we had even booked tickets so we wouldn’t have to wait too long in line.. but then the elevator broke. i felt like cattle being rammed into a small area go to to my death. luckily once we got up it wasn’t too bad.

even had a glass of champagne at the top, and then had a look around being heading back down again.

then we walked a bit further away to take some pictures, some serious and some.. not so serious.

after dad arrived. went home to let him drop off his suitcase and whatnot. i got loooots and lots of candy, plus some nice photo frames with pictures of my mom, sister, and me

then we went for a walk. walked from mine to marylebone high street, then to oxford street, then to new bond street, to carnaby steet, then regent’s street, then piccadilly circus, then trafalgar square, then the duke of york statue, then buckingham palace, st james park, green park, mayfair, oxford street, selfridges, then back to mine!!

yeah my feet hurt.

got back, chilled. then simon came around and we went to dinner!

daddy’s coming to london today to stay with me for the weekend!

not sure what we’ll get up to. i’ll show him marylebone, regent’s and things of that sort of course. then it’s up to him to see what he wants to do!

so blogging may not be up to par until sunday.. just a heads up.

my feet hurt. after walking from south kensington to knightsbridge and around harrods to green park and buckingham palace, to then continue on to trafalgar square, piccadilly and leicester square.. then finally get the tube home.

it’s one of those instances where as soon as you sit down, you don’t wanna move again for anything.

so if i get around to it i’ll put some pictures up today or tomorrow..

putting on my walking shoes today. gunna take ito to kensington, have a look around there, see harrods, go past hyde park. then see buckingham palace and end at green park most likely!

…but you never know! we’ll see what happens

went to djurgården after lunch and saw a bit more of stockholm.

went to the Vasa museum and saw the ship that sank way back when. free entry was a plus!

unfortunately my camera died :/ so i’ll have to wait to get some pictures off simon’s.

after we were done walking around the museum and some of djurgården we sat down at a lovely bar called josefinas.

outside in the sun, over looking the water and people. heaven on earth when the weathers lovely in stockholm!

went around the city a bit more yesterday.

simon and i met up with my sister and we had a coffee with her at the top of kulturhuset in the sun! beautiful view.

then we wandered over to the city hall and had a look around. once again, beautiful!

we were meant to have lunch in the old city for from shellfish and whatnot, but of course they closed 20 minutes before we got there!!

so we opted for a not so great caesar salad, but we made up for it with some newly made ice cream cones and marvelous ice cream!

then we saw the royal palace, simon once again wasn’t happy with me being a tourist and making him take pictures.. ha!

we went to leif’s to watch the football, yay for USA and England!! and had some yummy rhubarb and raspberry pie

after we took a walk around the lakes here in råsunda, and enjoyed some more of the lovely weather!

going to see the city today and do touristy things im guessing!
