London Trip Report!
Posted in Poker | View Comments (8)
 

Hey everyone!

As some of you may know, I have been to lovely London. Hans and Vincent, two good friends of mine whom I went to Aruba with earlier, were doing a summercourse there and asked if I wanted to drop by and party it up in London. I did want to drop by and party it up in London.

And unlike Vegas, I actually have a whole bunch of pictures this time. Mainly because of the picturecrazy little sister of Hans and Vincent who was there, along with Vincent's girlfriend, to visit them. And to party it up.


F.l.t.r: Jendé (sister), Vincent, Me, Merel (gf), Hans.


Here you can see our crew chillin at the Sketch restaurant/lounge. The Sketch is a really nice place to go to if you ever visit London. It has a unique design, some good cocktails and possibly the most awesome restrooms I have ever seen. They looked like long eggshaped cabins on the outside and like space capsules on the inside. It was the weirdest thing seeing gorgeous ladies come out of a purple lit egg. Not yet sure what I think of that.



After Sketch we went to a club called Maddox. Appearantly Britney Spears (known from the hits 'Hit me baby one more time', 'Oops I did it again' and my personal favourite, 'Lucky') has been there too, so I knew there was a high probability that it would be an awesome night. It was.

As you can imagine, we were all pretty hungover the next day. We somehow managed to get up though, and after a whole bunch of cokes and some good food we were ready to do some tourist stuff. Funny sidestory, when we were ordering, someone ordered by saying he/she wanted the soup in the front and the main in the back. The waiter looked soo confused and we were all ROFLOAO. I don't wanna embarass that person by saying who it was, but I can tell you it wasn't me. It also wasn't Vincent, Hans or Merel.



We went to the London Eye first. Or actually, a 4D intro show about London, which was 'spacing' and a lot of fun. The London Eye itself was cool, although I was really scared at some point cause I'm afraid of heights. Gotta face your fears though, and the scariness was nothing compared to what we did after that: The Death Trap.

The Death Trap is a horrorhouse with live actors. We thought it could never be that scary, but the catch is that you have to walk through the house and the live actors are allowed to lightly touch you... Imagine a very scary place, almost pitch black and knowing that around every corner there can be several creepy creatures waiting for you. It's no longer walking around, it's more like forcing your legs to move. It was just the five of us so we never knew what to expect (no group before us warning us about scarepoints). The scariest part for me was when the girls in the front (Hans and Vincent) didn't want to walk any further, so they were pushing back, while I was the last person in the group and someone that looked like the girl from The Ring was touching me on the face and there was just enough light to see how fucked up she looked. So obviously I was pushing forward but couldnt go anywhere so I ended up just standing there with crazygirl. My god. Almost punched her in the face. We got out safely though, and went on to see the Big Ben and House of Parliaments. Here are some pictures of that day that I thought were really cool.

Hans is insane POPcorn lover. He goes to the movies not for the movie but for the popcorn. On the right it's Death Trap cashier.

Left pic is Vincent trickshotting the House of Parliaments. On the right pic I like how the red bus moves and we are standing still. Shame i was looking at the bus. Must have been an interesting advertisement. Or a hot chick in there.

This one is just plain cute ^^

That night we went to a club called Vendredome. I wanna give a big thank you to Eveline, a friend of Hans who got us in, just in case she's reading this. Had a grrreat time there, unfortunately no camera so no pictures. The next day we went to the Madame Tussauds, which was a lot of fun. Inside of the Madama Tussauds there was a Guitar Hero stand. Naturally Hans and I grabbed a guitar and started rocking. It's a shame the pictures or movie don't really capture the atmosphere, but a lot of people who were walking by just stopped and started watching us, which was awesome. It could also have had something to do with Jendé playing groupie like a pro. Seriously though, I had a really good time in there.



Right pic craps me up, picture of the trip imo. I know Hans quite well, and I have seriously never seen him look so sincere.

I thought Vincent looked like Tom Cruise, his gf did not agree. Well fu, look at this pic girl. On the right it's me with Jimi Hendrix. (So now you know as I'm sure you'll read this )

After that we had some drinks at Brick Lane and as we were only staying there for the weekend, it was our last night already. After a long discussion (I said let's go to the strip club and the only one dying to go was jendé -.-) we decided to go to Picadilly Circus and have some more drinks there at Planet Hollywood. Took pictures at the exact same places as when I was there last year with Robin 'the Picture Blogger' Ripper.



Finishing writing up I realize the best part about having a blog. During the writing I relived all the moments and experiences I had there. Hopefully whenever I read this again, I will have the same feeling. Hans, Vincent, Jendé and Merel are all really cool to hang out with and, like Matt would say, just really good people. I thought this TR would be a short one, as I was only there for a long weekend, but it turns out we did a lot of things in a small amount of time. And I had to share the fun with you guys. The people had to know.
