Day 3 : London

It’s quite late but we are still up, having accidentally napped from 9pm until midnight after stumbling into a pub in Camden Town that served fruli – a strawberry flavoured beer – and then (literally) stumbling out.

Today was a day of markets. We started off skipping Pret and eating at a boulangerie near Russell Square, which was sort of a silly thing to do given the glorious treats that awaited us at Borough Market near London bridge.

I was given a strange face followed by a chuckle when I asked a construction worker for the location of the nearest tube stop. They are tube stations, i was informed, followed by very typically polite but questionably accurate english directions.

The northern line isn’t stopping at Kings Cross, a major transfer point, and this complicated our trip some and may have precipitated aforementioned beer drinking.

Camden Town made up for the frustrations – we had a nice tea at a place called yumchaa. Jenni bought a nice dress with bunnies on it, and I spent some time in a game store and came out with a copy of fluxx – a little card game for our travels.

And, after two days of threats, it finally did rain.
