another year another time, same city

well well the week in London passed very fast. I am happy that I had a nice week in my favorite city.

On monday morning at 8 a.m we started our trip. First we had to go to Paris where we made a little stop and drank a cafe or tea. Then we took the Eurostar to London. We arrived at 1. p.m. We had a small hotel just in front of the Kings Cross St. Pancras Station. Our rooms were as I expected quite okay.

On our first journey we visited the St. Pancras Station, a church and made a walk to Regents Park and to end this long journey we had a yummi dinner at Euston Pub.

The second day after a comfy night we had a little breakfast and left quite early as our plan was very long. We visited Westminster Abbey, the House of Parliament the Tate Britain Museum and Buckingham Palace. After a 10hrs programm I was happy to go for some late night shopping but I didn´t find anything that evening.

On wednesday we were on top of the St.Pauls Cathedral where you can get a nice view all over London! I loved it! After that we went across the Milenium Bridge a must see for every harry potter fan ;) & visited the Tate Modern museum. OMG i L O V E D it.

We all waited for thursday because we had 1/2 day off! SHOPPING & getting the real London feeling was the plan. In the morning we visited Kew Gardens as we were 1 hour to early we had a coffee/tea and afterwards we walked through the gardens. Then at 2 p.m we finally had our freetime. We went to Hardy's sweet store where you can buy small chocolate frogs nomnom. We shopped at the oxford street stores. For ex: pull & bear, Disney, victoria secret & so on.

Friday was THE museum day we went to The National Gallery & The National Portrait Gallery and did some Covent Garden window shopping.

On Saturday we walked through the Hide Park and visited Kensington Palace & The V&A Museum. For our last evening and so our last dinner we were in little venice.

Sunday was our very last day :( we got up quite early as we had to pack our luggage and as very last Museum we visited The British Museum and took our eurostar train at 1.30 p.m.
& the 'highlight' or let me call it a disaster was that our ICE train couldn't leave the paris est station ass a TGV hurt a person on our way so we waited there for 5hrs!! Omg worst journey ever! At 12 a.m we finally rolled out of the trainstation and had to drive to Strasbourg and from there to Karlsruhe, Mannheim & finally Saarbrücken.
On monday morning at 7.30 a.m I've been in bed. FINALLY :-D

I hope you got some inspiration to visit my favorite city!

fashion motivates

evening readers,

well well last week I was looking for some clothes: a jeans and a pullover as I am leaving for london next monday I wanted to add another comfy outfit to my wardrobe but the first thing I saw & I had to buy wasn´t a jeans at all haha.  It were some fancy blue grey sporty thights and a sports bra. Ooops. Ok both is comfy but I think I ´ll look like a weirdo when I walk in fitness tight through the city.

As I had a gift card it felt sooo good to spent my money on the tights the bra and fortunately I found what I was looking for a dark blue jeans and a black pullover on which is written: Manhattan.

I love to spend money for fitness stuff but I don´t like to buy tights that cost a fortune thats why most oft the time I buy my stuff at the H&M store. haha Am I the only one? Everytime I buy gym clothes I am so motivated to try them, so I always do the next workout on the same day.

I got the tights for 20euros and a flashy yellow/ grey bra for 15 euros.  I am super happy with these two. You can´t see through the tights and the bra feels so comfy that I almost think that I am wearing any. haha

 

Back to morning / evening runs

yep I am finally back to my morning / evening runs. At the moment I am working to get my internship certificate. So I am working for 6 weeks in a stationery / library. This means 7 hrs standing and ´running´ around and dealing with customers. But I like it as I get on very well with my work collegues and I know what I have to do. As the shop is on two floors I am running down & upstairs a hundred times a day. So that´s already a little workout.

I don´t go to the gym when I am staying in Luxembourg that´s why I do my beloved morning an evening runs again. I get up at 6:45 a.m or I leave the house at 8 p.m to go for a run before or after work. noexcuses ! ;) I love to run through my village in the morningo r evening when nobody is outside and I don´t need to pay attention on other people.

I put my shoes on, turn the music on and the world off. For me there is no better feeling than running with some good music and forget about everything else.
For me a good run is when I forget that I am running and why I am.
I don´t even care about the weather anymore, if I wanna go for a run I go. The most important thing is that you have to stop to compare yourself with others. You do this for yourself and not for others.

I am even more motivated at the moment cause I got some new stuff to workout. It isn´t much but for me it is enough to be motivated. I ll show you what I´ve got in my next post so stay tuned.
