Operation: Tea & Gin

It is a wrap on Operation: Krautland Zwei, and it was, without a doubt, a success. Shared some of my favorite parts of Berlin with new friends and got to see how well I can manage in translation. Definitely looking forward to doing it again, either with my brother or by myself (at long last!). I am now on part two of my journey: London. After a pretty laborious day of travel, I managed to find my hotel and make the two appointments I had made: the first for traditional afternoon tea at The Woseley, the second for gin cocktails at an old time themed bar called Mr. Fogg's Residence. Had some difficulty finding both (over and under shooting my own navigation, since my phone was dying and I didn't want to depend constantly on Google maps). Actually I ended up at the wrong Mr. Fogg's first before double backing. Oh, well, all is well. Both experiences were delightful and I am once again reminded how much I enjoy doing things on my own. No offense intended to my travel mates, I was happy to share and navigate, but tonight I realized just how much I enjoy discovering on my own without worrying about the needs of others. I suppose that's incredibly selfish, but it is my vacation... Tomorrow I have a big day planned as well: I want to get Indian food, find a local ice creamery, maybe do some shopping and exploring of Hyde Park, before meeting some friends and comics pros for drinks. I intend to map it all out properly tomorrow after a solid English breakfast. Can't believe it's almost already over. With the second city trip extension, it feels like (cue The Carpenters) it's only just begun. Picture update loading shortly. 💗 Xoxo, Molly
