After about 15 hours sleep, we decided we had better venture out and face the result of our decisions that had led us to this point. We went to the nearest café, and got a massive hot breaky each for about 4 pounds (under $7) each which was just what we needed.
We headed to the city, and went to the first café with wifi and stayed there an unreasonable amount of time. We left when we felt the staff might be getting angry, and went across the road to the National Gallery.
The Gallery was amazing and massive. Brett, you would have loved it. We got to see originals of Van Gogh, Monet, Rembrandt, and so many more.
We went back to the café with free wifi, got lunch, and stayed an embarrassingly long time again.
Then we jumped on the Tube, and went to Kings Cross Station (Harry Potter’s train station) and then walked to Collinge & Clark book shop…or as the fans would know it as, Black Books. It was awesome! (Dan, don't panic, pics to come)
Then we got on the tube again and went straight to meet Gemma & Chris for drinks & curry on their last night abroad before heading back home. It was really nice to see a familiar face, thanks guys!
Curry was delicious, but as Gemma pointed out, Europe doesn't really do spicy. The waiter warned us that everything is very spicy, and to make sure we had lots of rice and bread. It wasn't, but we loved it anyway.
Gemma and I ordered the only weird thing on the menu for dessert. It was basically a cup full of salty ice with berries. Salty ice? Yes. Two kinds of salt actually.
Tomorrow’s plan – squirrel hunting at Hyde Park.
