London again and Strasbourg

1. Week-end of the 8-10th December

Went to London again, this time to visit my australian friend Carl. I arrived Thursday night, started my round of museums on Friday morning (starting with the British Museum, then heading to the Tate modern), and started to feel really sick. I thought it would be probably best to go lie down for a while (luckily Carl had given me the keys to his flat), went to bed and only got up again on Saturday lunch. Result: huge ear infection with fever, luckily i had all the medication i needed with me, but it really wasn't pleasant. Saturday night, feeling a bit better, I went to see the Nutcracker ballet, which was nice but not amazing, had dinner afterwards, then straight to bed till Sunday lunch again. One hour of shopping in the afternoon and it was already time to leave...
Thanks Carl again for the great welcome, as you said I'll just have to come again to do all the things I wanted to :)
Because of the bad weather on Friday morning and my illness the rest of the time, I don't have any pics. Sorry :S

2. Strasbourg, one week later

Feeling better already, just coughing a lot and sneezing regulary, I had a very very nice and romantic week-end in Strasbourg with Vincent. Here some pics, more will follow hopefully :)
