Even though it’s Saturday, we still didn’t sleep late. This weekend is our weekend off, and Rachael, Holly, and I are not going to spend it being lazy! We started our morning trying our best to make it to the Portobello Market, but due to several tube line closures, our arrival was delayed. We finally made it… but low and behold, the morning sunshine lied! We were drenched in a matter of minutes, cold and soaked to the bone, since none of us really prepared for such strange weather. Within 10 minutes the sun was out and shining again! But not a moment too soon did we stop for lunch, for another down pour hit. You know, I thought Louisiana weather was bad, and then I came to London. Always be prepared! Anyway, the market was fun, there were lots of lovely antique shops, but most of them were filled with junk. I did however find some really cute shoes for only 5 pounds! (Yes, I know this is almost 10 American dollars, but hey, I thought I did good!) We finally made it back to our home away from home, and decided it was best to wash some clothes, get some dinner, and call it a night. Tomorrow we have a lot of great things planned! Please sunshine, don’t fail us tomorrow!!!

Really awesome bassist on Portobello Street My two best friends. Tired from a full day! |
I loved going to Portobello! I found an antique leather bound copy of Pilgrim's Progress there one day! Did you stop to see things from 'Notting Hill'?
ReplyDeleteOh and I assumed you didn't see my comments with Adam's facebook, but where are you guys staying? Our hotel was there between Russell & Bloomsbury so you're totally in my 'Home' part of London.
ReplyDeleteWe were actually staying at the Celtic hotel, which was on Guilford Street right behind the Russell Hotel, so I was right there! We did SO much stuff on this trip, and as soon as I'm home I'm going to finish updating this blog... I can't find internet that lets me upload pictures efficiently. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteAhhh!!! That's the hotel run by the Marazzi's! It's the 'sister' hotel to the one we stayed at, St. Margaret's. St. Mag's closed because of the Duke of Bedford - I think he sold the property or something strange. Was there an attendant named Oscar there? Did you meet the Marazzi's?
