Hey yall!
I must be sounding like a broken record, but we're just back from Eric and Sally's and we've had a wonderful day in London! Today we got up a bit earlier (around 10.30) and went into london to meet Petra. Petra was such a wonderful tourguide... she took us to all the non touristy places I had never been to! It was great to see her too, after all these years. So we went on a double decker bus to Camden town, this really cool, funky place where everyone is not afraid to demonstrate their own style. We got amaaazing indian food from this little stand and sat along the river with our feet dangling over the side. Honestly, i think I found heaven in Camden town with my two lovely friends! We later went and spent our inheritance on clothes and what-not in the markets. It was a blast! Afterwards, we walked (or rather, hiked) to Primrose hill. At the tippety top we could see an amazing view of london and the whole skyline. And on top of that hill we sat like locals, looked out, and really "soaked up london" as cindy had advised me to do. Absolutely lovely :)
After that we took a black cab to kings cross station where they have the famous platform 9 and 3/4 in harry potter. It was totally bunk... not even close to the real thing! So instead we walked up to around where petra lives in london and went to a really nice pub on the camden river thingy that runs through town. Steve met us there, and it was really nice to meet him. What a nice guy! Afterwards, we took a bus back to waterloo station, hopped on a train, got back to woking, jumped in a cab, got back to cindy's, practically threw our stuff inside the house and ran to eric and sally's for dinner (we were already late). We had a fantastinc dinner with eric and sally (they always treat us like royalty those two). Now it's 2 in the morning and we've supped on wine and good food with even better company.
Off to bed and then early rise for another full day in london!
