the best saturday in london.

{beware, picture overload}

saturdays are the best day of the week in london, they may be a little more crowded, but the city is so much livelier than other days of the week, which makes it fun... and this saturday was my favorite one that we have had. a bunch of us woke up and headed to camden market. it was a sunny day, which makes everything better, and we had a fun day full of souvenir shopping and eating. and eating.


[i think if i had to choose one thing from camden, it would have to be these churros. they hand make the dough right in front of you, create the churro, fry it, roll it in sugar & cinnamon, and then fill the inside with caramel and chocolate. yummy.]




next, huge belgian chocolate covered strawberries, sprinkled with hazelnuts-- served in a banana leaf haha.








after spending a few hours at the market, we went home and relaxed for a bit. since our room at the centre is always so hot, we have the windows and fire escape doors permanently open. we decided to take a walk up the fire escape and go to the roof of our house. it was so so pretty and lots of fun! the view was what you see in movies like marry poppins-- with all of the roofs & chimneys.




[our funny middle parts]




later that night, we went out to dinner at nandos- a well known restaurant in london. we love the chicken pita with pineapple & cheese.. so yums. and then we took a ride on the tube to get snacks. haha why not end the non-stop eating day with a bang!?


[liz decided to lay on me when we were on the tube.. haha i kept telling her that my hand was squished and hurting, but she wouldn't believe me. luckily mike was able to snap this pic for proof hahahaha]

after we got home, and liz making me laugh so hard.. (well we all know what happens what i laugh too hard.. but that's another story for a different day).... we ended up staying up really late. mike & ashley were working on the final slideshow.. and me and kins attempted to write our papers for school. oh ya, and liz stayed up till 4 blogging too haha. such a fun day in london town!
