We woke up really early to get a head start and be on time for the parade. It was the 23rd New Year’s Day Parade in London.
More than 10 000 people from all over the world took part in this parade.

George thought he was very clever today and only wore a blazer over his jersey. This was not a good idea at all – It was freezing outside!! But there was no turning back once we were in London. We went to Piccadilly Circus and found a good spot right in front to be able to see the parade better. It is something to experience. All the people coming together to see this parade and all for a good cause too. During the parade anyone and everyone can donate money to charity.
London has a lot of historical landmarks that are famous and you absolutely just have to take a picture of it to say: "I was there".
Trafalgar Square
We spent about 4 hours of our morning watching the parade - by that time we undoubtly HAD to get a cup of coffee to warm us up.
One word says it all - S T A R B U C K S.
We are addicts, and when travelling abroad one of the things we actually look forward to, is having a white chocolate mocha or a frappuccino!
For the rest of the day we dwelled around in the streets of London looking for souveniers, searching for bargains exploring the beautiful city.
