Shopping, Shopping, Shopping!

23.12.2011 – Friday day 4

Caught the Tube yet again, and headed out to Camden Markets this morning in Camden Town.. about a 15min train ride from where we are staying. Got lost amongst all the stalls, there are too many to count or even recognise! It’s quite a beautiful setting along the river actually and the delicious smells from the food stalls is just amazing. We bought some Thai food (bang bang chicken!! YUMMO) for about 6 pound and sat down  on our scooters over

looking the river to have lunch.

The rain blew in not long after midday so we headed back into town to Oxford Street which was crammed pack full of people doing last minute Christmas shopping. Although being tempted, I only ventured into ONE store “Topshop” which is about 3 different levels full of the latest English winter fashion. Thankfully I found my way out alive, after getting lost several times, and poor Ads waiting for me at the entrance for about 45 mins! Ha ha.

 I’ve come down with a bit of a cold, so crowds and me aren’t mixing well right now so Ads too me to a “Walkabout” (Aussie pub) for a sit down and a few beers, just what the doctor ordered!

I think we’ve ticked all the boxes here in London, hopefully! We are heading out to Alysham tomorrow to spend Xmas with the family which is another train ride about 2 hours South.

Looking forward to celebrating Xmas with great company and good wine, starting to miss home though… long way to go yet!
