London

It's been a year since I went to London to watch The Championships popularly known as Wimbledon. I was able to blog about it but wasn't able to write about the rest of my trip. Well, I had another one - about Bournesmouth. I stayed near Bayswater Underground and during my trip, I had been using  the Tube a lot. The Tube is London's public metro system. I found it to be very convenient as I didn't find it complicated like that of Japan's.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth Beach was totally foreign to me. I haven’t heard about it prior to my trip to UK until I joined my cousin and her family for a European summer getaway.  We arrived at the beach around 0900H and the beach was not yet crowded, which was good since we were able to find a nice place to spend the rest of the day, sunbathing.  It was approximately an hour's drive from Basingstoke.

I will fly 6,000 miles for a chance to see the Swiss Miss, Martina Hingis this Wimbledon. I know it’s a long shot, especially since she is out of the professional tennis scene, but she usually plays the Legend’s Invitational during Grand Slams, so there’s still a small glimmer of hope. (The chance would have been bigger if she still coaches Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Too bad they had to part ways after the French Open).
