We only had a couple days in London, but they were fun. Flights in and out of the UK now have this insane carryon limitation (1 bag, 10 pound maximum) which is really annoying. We stayed with my friend Anthony and he was the consumate host. His schedule is even more flexible than mine, so he showed us around the town and since I'd been there before, we went pretty much where ever punkythecat wanted to go.

The first day was a lot of typical sight seeing. We wandered by London Bridge right after breakfast

And followed that up with trips to Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar square:

and then did some shopping on Regent Street. Then we grabbed lunch at a little pub before heading to Selfridges.

In the evening we met up with Jeremy (who we met in Amsterdam at the conference) and grabbed supper at a little restaurant and then went to a pub.

The second day was mainly latex shopping. We hit most of the major shops (Atsuko Kudo, Libidex/Liberation, House of Harlot, Honour, Fettered Pleasures) and then met up with some old friends for supper near London Bridge.

We flew out insanely early the next morning, so I chose not to sleep but punkythecat managed to grab a nap.

The flight back to Rotterdam was fine and so was the train ride out to Essen, but by the time we got there we were so tired that we just ordered room service and crashed out.
