London In Photos – July, August, September 2024 – Big Ben, London Eye, Buckingham Palace And More

A while ago, I decided to start periodically making these photo posts with pictures I took in London during my walks and mini adventures. It’s always fun for me to scroll through my phone’s camera roll and relive the memories, appreciating how lucky I am to live in one of the most famous cities in the world. I remember that prior to moving to London, I was always eager to see photos from this stunning city and learn about the most beautiful places, making lists of locations to visit in the future. Now that I live in London, perhaps I can help someone else build their travel itinerary! So, sit back and enjoy my photos of London from summer 2024.

Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes [High Protein, Moist And Fluffy]

Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes [High Protein, Moist And Fluffy]

Pancakes are one of my favourite breakfast options. Light, comforting, delicious, and versatile too – once you have your pancakes, you can experiment with lots of different toppings. I love pancakes, but I also like to eat high protein meals, and traditional pancakes lack in this area. I sometimes make protein pancakes with protein powder. They have a more favourable nutritional value, but let’s be honest – they’re usually rather dry and don’t taste great on their own. But these cottage cheese pancakes are the best of both worlds! Packed with protein, yet moist and delicious. They’re also mess free and ready in 10 minutes. I’m obsessed! You have to give them a try.

An Afternoon In Omis, Croatia – Delicious Crepes, Charming Old Town And A Fortress In The Mountains

An Afternoon In Omis, Croatia – Delicious Crepes, Charming Old Town And A Fortress In The Mountains

I’ve been to Croatia many times and have been lucky enough to see most of the major tourist destinations in that beautiful country, but there are still some places I’m yet to visit. One of the towns that was on that list until recently is Omiš. I drove through it numerous times, and was in awe since the first time I saw it through the car window. The view was just spectacular – a town sandwiched between the sea and the mountains, with River Cetina cutting through a tall mountain, creating a deep valley. Stunning! A few weeks ago, I finally had a chance to visit Omiš. Here’s how I spent an afternoon there.

Oh, beautiful London. A landmark-filled city bustling with life, attracting millions of tourists every year.

Famous for its limestone Old Town and, more recently, for being one of the filming sites of Game of Thrones. Join me on my trip to the lovely Dubrovnik!

A Visit To Greenwich Observatory, London, England

A Visit To Greenwich Observatory, London, England

I recently finally had the pleasure of visiting the Royal Observatory in Greenwich – I had been to Greenwich Park many times, but never had a chance to visit the Observatory before. And let me tell you, it was an experience that left me deeply appreciative of something as simple as checking the time. If you’ve ever taken your watch or phone for granted, this place will make you rethink how much we owe to those who struggled to keep accurate time centuries ago!
