Hyde Park & Covent Garden

Even though it's pretty cold here - around 40 degrees F (at least, that's cold for someone from from California) - I have to admit that London can be beautiful, especially in the Fall.

Hyde Park


Look at the skies! =)


Ducks galore (should I mention I had bbq duck noodle soup for lunch? haha)


Princess Diana Memorial Fountain... it's a really pretty fountain, even though you can't tell from here


Kids playing around the fountain... I envy their carefree innocence


Kensington Gardens


Marble Arch - it's not as impressive as you may think. Plus in order to get here, I had to dodge traffic because it's on an island and there aren't any pedestrian xings... you're supposed to go underground but I kept taking the wrong exits haha


Covent Garden - similar to 3rd street with it's street performers and shops that line the streets


I ended up shopping, which is bad because I really shouldn't be spending money... but yes, retail therapy!

I've also really been craving milk tea, so I found this HK cafe place that had it... it cost 3.50 gbp but I HAD to try it!

Def not worth 7 bucks... =( I want some REAL milk tea like we had in HK

Oh how I miss you, St. Alps!!
