More Jolly London

Some of the next day was spent in a place I won't hurry back to. We were yet to battle the crowds of the Oxford Street shopping district, and so decided to venture into the deep, as we actually did need to buy a few things. Josh's parents were down from Cambridge for the day, and so we teamed up with them and Josh's sister Sophie to walk the streets of the Monopoly board... After my poor feet decided they had been trodden on enough, we headed to Covent Gardens for a beer (well, actually I haven't quite got accustomed to beer yet, but the others had beer - although I was later introduced to cider which tickled my fancy), and then back to Oxford Circus to meet my old workmate Matt for a drink. We also realised how much time you need to allow for yourself to get anywhere in London - the result of being very late to a dinner date at my cousin's house. It was a fantastic night once we finally arrived. Gorgeous meal, amazing house, and flawless company.

Another jam-packed day followed, as it was our last full day in London, and we still had so much to do. We caught a tube (finally getting used to it) to Camden to see the markets, and also felt we were getting used to bartering, and walked away with our price on some clothing... And rushed down to the Borough Food Market at London Bridge. What an amazing place, filled with tastings of fresh cheese, fruit, sweets and any food you could ever crave... And as it was a week day we were without the stresses of the weekend crowds, although that would be an experience in itself. Must go back and enjoy more delights, as we were hurried out of there to catch a train to Cambridge for the night.
