It seems that Christmas markets can't elude me, and I am like a fly attracted to their bright lights. After experiencing the original German ones, Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland wasn't high up on my to do list. Especially not since I was there last year as well. Going with the flow, I told myself to put on new eyes with the new year.
Without fail, the smell of hot drinks and desserts once again grasp my attention and I was soon taking out my pennies to spend on crepes and waffles. A band entertained the crowd in a cute little hut, welcoming people with itchy feet to dance to their tunes. Just before the park closed, I went up on a ride - my first in the UK and first in a rather long time - spun upside down and inside out, screamed my lungs out and had a thoroughly amazing 5 minutes.
I won't discount Winter Wonderland again.
Maybe its because my father is an engineer, and he gets excited every time he sees an engineering feat (and points it out to us, of course), but this ferris wheel's structural veins fascinates me. I really wished I was with my family, either them with me, or me back home basking in the warm humidity that I will never take for granted again.
