Day off in London

It is early in the morning now, I cannot sleep anymore. So I try to type, without waking Jessica. Yesterday we arrived in London around 09:00 am. We had a good flight, and all went well. It was really nice to have the day off, and walk through the city. As our hotel was near Paddington Station, everything was so close by. Just bought a day-ticket of the tube, and off we go!
The first thing I did was directly go to the official Apple Store. Man, what a great shop, and it is huge!! As an Apple fan, it is truly amazing to be in a real Apple store, owned by Apple itself. A real candy-store for big boys… hehehe As you can see in the movie, I had fun!
After the Apple Store, we went to Piccadilly Circus, the Tower Bridge and a lot of other places. Of course we stopped at Starbucks for some nice coffee and walked through the city.
At the end of the day we had diner at this great and trendy Indian restaurant. A real treat! If you are around London and you like Indian food you really should visit them! They are located in the Soho-area and called Masalla Zone.
So it was a nice day of relaxing and having fun!
Ready to rock now!!
Cya tonight!!

Next to being a musician, I am an entrepreneur since the age of 19. I started 4 businesses. My main company is Novae Popschool (www.popschool.eu).

As musician, producer, teacher, author and entrepreneur I work with a mission: "I help musicians create and develop their own musical singularity, through which they will have a more successful and more fulfilling life. It is my mission to contribute to a more socially, loving and caring society through the power of music and modern music education. Rock on!
