I had a fantastic day with Cam my friend from Cape Town. We met up in at Liverpool Station and made a mission past Tesco's for some Bacon, Egg, Patties and Pork Sausages. We had a fry up at the apartment and made Huge Dagwood sandwiches!
The weather was great on the day so we decided to take a walk around and explore some of London. We walked around Barbican and down to the Thames... Walking all the way down past London Bridge and down to Tower Bridge. Looking at all the fantastic buildings and history. Once at London Bridge we decided to take to underground to Kings cross station. Where we popped into the Harry Potter store. Cam enjoyed seeing all the different things you could buy. The shop was a bit crowded so we didnt stay long.
We then headed up to Camden from Kings cross on foot. Asking a few police officers along the way we seemed to end up in a suburb area near Camden. Us, having no clue what Camden was all about started thinking it was all a scam and we had ended up in a dodgy neighborhood. We stopped by a pub on the main road and asked for some directions. Eventually we found what we were looking for... Camden Market!
What an awesome place! never in my life has such a place extended the expectations of the word Market. It is litererally the biggest, weirdest, coolest, funkiest, hippiest market you can thinking of! So much stuff and so many things to look. We got lost in there for hours! It was flipping SICK!
Later in the evening we made a mission back to the apartment to rest for the night out ahead. Malc came home and we headed out for supper in Sheperds Bush with Joe and Bryan. We had a really nice Jug and Burger! After this Malc, Cam and I went down to Carnaby Street for some drinks. As the night went on an old friend Sarah who I haven't seen in 16 years met up with us for drinks and a night out. We went down to Soho and jolled in Thirst for the rest of the night... Getting home at 5 in the morning! Needless to say the hangover was horrendous!
Today I saw my Aunt and Cousin and we did some exploring and sight-seeing together. I was really great to see them! Tomorrow I am off to Antibes in France to continue my journey!
