So. We left Ohio on March 18.
We arrived March 19.
The flight wasn't really that bad. There were 4 babies on our long flight from Detroit to Amsterdam (and no, we didn't smoke anything. stop asking) but it wasn't that bad. All but one were relatively quiet.
My cousin Beckie met us at the airport, and we took the tube back to her place.
We napped then met up with her husband Matt later for our first London pub experience.
It was a good day.
Saturday, Walt and I met up with my friend Zena, whom I'd met in Lebanon. It was loads of fun. We went to Camden Market, which is this MASSIVE outdoor market that was extremely fun and ridiculously amazing. There was this one really cool store called Cyberdog that was totally bitchin'. It was a raver's place and really loud music and blacklights and lots of dancing...but a store. You could buy trinkets and then the whole downstairs was fun clothes. It was hilarious. Walt loved it. He paid 5 pounds for a dancing robot toy. Ohhh dear....
We stopped by a shop on the way home. We bought toothbrushes (since I packed ours up then left them on the sink in Columbus... naturally.) and disposable razors and a 2-liter of Strongbow. Then we came back to the flat, took a short nap, and had dinner. Then off for a Saturday night of tequila, tequila, tequila!
My cousins are friends with someone here who works at a tequila bar, and I had never had a Margarita, so we went there and were fed free drinks all damn night long. It was glorious. Then we left a massive tip and went to try to catch Matt's friend's gig, but we got there too late and the pub was closing. Then we took the tube as far as we could before it closed, then waited an hour for the Night Bus, aka the Drunk Bus. By the time we got home, it was 2.30am. The tube closed at 12.30am. That's how long it took. Yes, things close really early here. But whatever. Then we're over our hangovers early enough to get stuff done, haha.
Today is just a hang out day. We may go for a walk later, but right now, we're all on our computers. Walt and I hadn't fully recovered from the trip yet, so we slept REALLY late, and by really late I mean 3.30pm. So we'll probably head out for a walk soon. Then I think we're having a nice day in and watching movies with the cousins all day. I do believe we'll be heading out for meat pies and minty mushy peas for dinner and a few drinks. Woot!
Alright. Time to hop to it!
This is a fence we walk past a lot. It's so cool. :)
