Day 11 in Europe (London)

I suppose London does have a few sights and things to offer. I went to look at some old buildings today, including the Natural History Museum, the Royal Albert Hall, Buckingham Palace, and the National Gallery. Didn't go inside any of them but instead was outside admiring the architecture.

The best of those was probably the Royal Albert Hall. It really caught my breath when I entered into the vicinity, as it and its surrounding buildings were all erected out of vividly red bricks, something really nice to see when all the other buildings seem to be grey. From another perspective it was also the most important to me due to its status as the flagship concert hall for British (or maybe even Anglophone) classical music. The proms are currently on, but I don't have the time to see any of it.

Hyde Park was also nice to walk through, though the grass was more yellow than green at this time of year, not sure if it's meant to be like that.

In the evening I went out by myself, and it was a bit lonely until by pure luck I found some cool people to hang out with. The rest of the night went easy and was much fun, and at least I managed to get out to a bar and a club in London's rather famous nightlife!
