London, Day 8
I wanted to get breakfast one last time and our host said York & Albany, a Gordan Ramsay restaurant was good for it. So we walked over there and I ordered a traditional breakfast again (consists of one fried egg, one piece of bacon, one piece of sausage, a fried tomato, some mushrooms, beans and…

Can you believe it, we had another late start! We wanted to get some good fish n chips again (chippys), but it was late in the afternoon and most places were closed until dinner time. We did find one place near Camden Lock, Lockside Lounge. They weren’t nearly as good as Blackfriar’s, but they did…

Yet another rainy day. We had another late start, so we had a lot of trouble find a place to eat lunch at 3pm. We attempted to do more walking tours and headed out for the Wander in Westminster tour. The first thing we saw on the tour was London Eye and then Big Ben.…

(This ended up being pretty much our only nice, non-rainy day.) I didn’t want to sleep the day away, so we got up around 10:30am. We ate some breakfast at the house and set off for Central London to do some walking tours. My aunt Karen gave us a book, 24 Great Walks in London,…

We arrived in London extremely jet lagged around 1pm. We hired a car to drive us to our hosts house which is nestled between Camden Town and Primrose Hill. Our host (friend) gave us a tour of his beautiful house and suggested we take a 2-3 hour nap which would refresh us enough to go…
