School holidays meant i had 10 days free!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, went to LONDON! Stayed with michelle and her sis in Greenwich for the weekend (after a 12 hour journey to get there from berge), walked thru greenwich park to the observatory, ate cupcakes at the market...but most exciting: they have take-away coffee's in london. and they're bigger than a demi-tasse cup thing! ...oh the pleasantness of keeping your hands warm while walking along the street with a hot chocolate or coffee.
did the old walk about town thing, and went shopping along kensington on sunday...way less drama than hazarding my chances on oxford st
Cupcakes at the Greenwich Market!
!on monday i headed to my next lot of accomodation - mehmet and nektars!
and spent monday and tuesday checking out V&A museum, harrods (kinda goes without saying), tower of london (suppose this could have been impressive to some people...maybe if i knew/cared about britains history...), museum of old medical/surgical stuff (not overly impressive either...) and the tate modern (big thumbs up on this one...who knew i was able to appreciate the 'material collection' i.e. picasso - couldn't see the bloody candlestick that the title suggests was in the picture, pollock - actually i expected more from this guy...people talk him up. and other famous dudes.)
anyways, didn't quite get round to buying up cheddar cheese to take back to berge, nor did i manage to get a loaf of multigrain bread. life is tough!
Back to Berge to work!
