Hi there! LB's back home.
I've just spent FIVE LEGENDARY DAYS in London and it was definitely amazing. I experienced the beauty of a city with free museum admission. London is full of art, culture and incredible people. I really love it.
In the first days of my journey I visited the huge galleries of the Tate Modern, the Tate British, the National Gallery and the British Museum. If you're planning to visit them too, don't miss the chance to ride the nice boat that connect Tate buildings. It's cheap, comfortable and, in fact, you'll sail the Thames. Unfortunately in these museum is strictly forbidden to take pictures, so I lack of shots.
The first Tate.
I fell in love with Aztec's history. This exhibition was really gorgeus.
A teponaztli, or also known as the "heart-ripper drum".
After my long travel I was really tired, and I was looking for a good meal but also some good stuff to do. So I spent one night eating at the of-course-cool
Hard Rock Cafè. The boring thing was that you
MUST have taken a reservation before going to the Cafè, or a terrifying-more-than-an-hour waiting will smile at you. Unbearable. Of course I hadn't taken the reserv and I had to wait. Even if I was starving, I enjoyed a lot the place and I took some pictures in this incredible rock and roll pub. The most surprising thing was that the staff seemed ALWAYS enjoyed of their work and quite lovely with EVERYONE. I happily rocked out a fantasticly big tastyburger with a cold beer, in just a few seconds. After this glorious blitzkrieg between human beings and well dressed meat, I took some shots with some of the legends of London's Hard Rock Cafè.
My personal Jimi Hendrix experience.
By the way my travel had just started. The day after, I spent some moments of relax in the majestic beauty of London parks, as you can see. My favourites are Hide and Regent's parks.

Regent's Park. Wow!
Bonus! Lucky Bastard eating leaves.
After this refreshing break, I continued my travel exploring the misteries of Chinatown and, near there, I've found a
*very* weird place. Unfortunately I had almost run out all my pounds that day and it was definitely impossible to sneak inside that insane maze, so... It seemed that I had to come back soon.

Look up and you will find this!
The weird place near Piccadilly Circus.
I've something to say about UK... Fish and Chips is damn good, but it also can become really
greasy and annoying. The worst F&C I've eaten was inside the self service of the Tower of London... What the ****! BTW, a long walk near the London Bridge was sort of helpful to get well again.

One of the most exciting places that I've seen during this journey was, certainly, Covent Garden. It's a big square with a lot of awesome markets and, more interesting, incredible buskers. One of them was juggling with two sharp swords and a
CHAINSAW, riding a two-meters-high monocycle with just his underwear, during a cold october night. Impressive.
Covent Garden is a magical square full of life and crazy stories.
The wonderful Apple Market.

Believe it or not. The only way to watch one of the shows. Covent Garden is always CROWDED.
But one the best area of London is Camdem Town. It's huge, spectacular, and full of charme. There you can find the priceless craziness of the city. Cyber/steam-punk, goth, dark, ethnic art and much more is such powerfully available for your eyes only in Camdem Town. Trust thy olde Lucky Bastard. You can't miss Camdem during your next trip to London, because it's legendary. And, especially, don't forget to ask for the
Cyber Dog.

A beautiful shop.

Colorful.

SPOILER: Here it is, the Cyber Dog. So damn cool!
Well. After these awesome wonders, my travel was in fact going to its end. It was impressive and incredible. Since I still had some pounds left, I bought some cool stuff in the Stables. A nice necklace and, last but not the least, a strange and charming indiana-jones-like blank diary, very similar to Eva's one. Here you are.

So, what do you think guys about my shocking travel? Certainly I'll visit London again, and soon. With the whole gang this time. Damn! I fell deeply in love with this city.
Now, since I'm back, I started to work hard over our incoming gig, and I'm also playing my piano a lot. Oh my, I feel quite inspired these days!
Plus, after this experience I got the bright idea to buy a camera and take pictures around. Stay tuned and, of course, you will see them somewhere online quite soon!
See you!

I missed a lot my beloved piano.
