Soooooo continuing on to Day 3!

Sloth and I despite sleeping uberly late once again (remember, very deprived of friends the both of us lol so we spent alot of time catching up), we woke up very early to catch the 8am Holy Communion service at Westminister Abbey.

You can check the daily schedule here for all services.

Walking along Westminister Bridge to Westminister Abbey

Everytime I see the London Eye, I want to laugh because it reminds me of a stupid thing my bf said before lol.

We were quite cheapo so we wanted to save $$ and not pay to enter the abbey so we decided to go for a service.

That being said, Westminister Abbey is a Catholic church so for me it was no issue.

Hello everyone *twirls around*
I made my foray out of Germany after being there for 4 weeks because I was getting bored lol.
No la, I'm just kidding to be honest. But I was super super excited I kept telling everyone at work I was going to London lol.
They kinda got sick of me repeating it heh xD
I made plans to head up to London to visit dear Sloth who is there and stay at her apt there wahahaha (I brought 'payment' ok... Hanuta chocolates, Haribo Smurf gummis and Milka chocolates!) when I arrived in Germany. It was a very impromptu trip, very YOLO. I like.
So I left on a Thursday evening and took Friday off from work because I wanted to maximise my time in London.
Being there on an evening didn't bother me because accommodation was... free :P
Took the train to Köln/Bonn Airport from Leverkusen after work (I even brought my luggage to work leh, excited much despite being mindfked by one of the directors at work lol.)

 

This airport is not an international airport as you can see, mainly they serve domestic and budget airlines so the place was pretty small BUT free wifi and that, deserves thumbs up from me :D

Airline of the evening: Germanwings

I had originally wanted to take Ryanair because it was tons cheaper but after reading so many horrifying reviews online and the fact that the airport terminal was damn far for me (Düsseldorf Weeze is about 30 mins away from Düsseldorf Flughafen) I decided to just pay more for Germanwings (departing from Köln/Bonn) and easyjet (My returning flight, arriving at Düsseldorf Flughafen) just to have a peace of mind.
You'd be surprised by the reviews I've read about Ryanair and I asked my colleagues who told me not to take it as well lol. Trust the Germans on this I say.
