London: Part 2

My, oh my, it has been a long time since I last posted. And I'm not even half-way done with my summer trip! Well, the documentation continues . . .

After Bath, we made our way back to London and stayed with Tebb's friend from Ecuador, Tom (special thanks to him for letting us stay in his dorm-- super, super grateful for the awesome hospitality!) Here's what we did:


Portabello Market- one cool, crowed place. You can find anything here- from clothes to food to collectibles to . . . gas masks?


We visited on a Saturday and it was PACKED. To avoid crowds, consider going during a week day if you can. However, the crowded atmosphere in itself was quite an experience- following a steady flow of densely packed people up and down the road while viewing various vendor displays in ten second intervals was a really odd feeling.


Tons of buskers.


We did a lot of random walking around. On one of these walks we found a market that was closed for the day. It looked pretty fancy-shmancy though.


Hehe.


Hello there.


Really pretty music was made on this instrument-- I have no clue what it is.


Hell yeah!


Oh I do say my good fellow, I am indeed.


Tom's apartment was close to an outdoor Indian market. What was found there? JACKFRUIT! If you've never had jackfruit is a sumptious, delicous, orgasmic-inducing (okay, kind of . . .) fruit found in South Asia. It tastes like a cross between a banana and a pineapple. It taste like birthday sex.


At Hyde Park . . . cute little geesees!




Tom and Brian . . . adorable.




The Museum of Natrual History!!!!! BEST PLACE EVER!!!!!

The Wonderful, Tasty Burough Market

I wanted to devote a sole post to the beautiful, fantastic, mouth watering, lovely, awesome, crazy good Burough Market. Located in the London Bridge District, it is open Fridays and Saturdays, and boy, did we scope this place out. On our second day we went to this magical place, then, when we got back to London, we stopped by two more times! Why, may you ask, did we devote so much of our time and energy to this particular attraction? FREE FOOD SAMPLES.


Lots of fresh fruit and veg!




Cheese!


Yes, yes you did.


:-)


Yummy indian spices.


Cause you can't just have fish and chips . . . they must be proper, I say!


Cool.


Open wide!


I have just purchased a very expensive bottle of truffle infused olive oil. At 6 pounds for a tiny, itsy-bitsy bottle, it was definitely a splurge- but worth it. Fyi, though it was delicious and I enjoyed it, I found a bigger bottle for about $7 here in the states- maybe not as high quality, but still delicious, and I highly recommend trying some!
