As the source of my
paternal roots, the place we were
engaged and a pretty rockin place - we easily name
London as one of our favorite cities.
 |
| Double Decker Buses! We happily took the seats at the front whenever we had a chance |
A cheap flight from
Berlin, we are always happy to return to the city and in our second venture we based ourselves in a little room in a flatshare just off of Brick Lane through
AirBnB. We struggled with the pub closing hours of "no food after 6pm", discussed the short-comings of the much praised Tube, and ate and drank our way through the city.
LONDON!
 |
| The now coming together with the past. A passion play was taking placein the square. |
 |
| We were happy to miss the Royal Wedding, but got to see the city all gussied up. |
East London
Unfortunately
this is the only picture I took at a kickass breakfast place where I got
French toast with bananas and bacon. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Luckily- the
bathroom is awesome
 |
| Indian Food. YES |
 |
| Beautiful Necklace/time piece bought from the Brick Lane Markets |
Tower Bridge
 |
| Tower Bridge, beautiful symbol of the city & site of "the proposal" |
 |
Where it happened!
|
 |
| We had "groudlings" tickets standing next to the stage |
Camden Town
 |
| Quite possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten. Ice cream created before our eyes! |
The ice cream is from
Chin Chin Laboratories. If you are ever in Camden- Go! Eat! Love! Pictured above: Valrhona chocolate ice cream. He said it "makes no economic sense to use
this chocolate", but it's his favorite. Plus salted caramel sauce,
raspberry sauce, and candied pretzels. AMAZING.
We wandered into this place in Camden thinking it was a regular store. It was not. Took an escalator down into Rave /S&M/bondage hell or heaven (take your pick).
Camden markets are a prequisite stop and rightfully wonderful...if not as indie as they once were.
Grabbing a pint after our busy day, we found the
Wheelbarrow &
Justice Force 5. This would be our band, our bar, our neighborhood if we lived here.
Tea Time in England
 |
| Tea Time! |
 |
| Cider- I fell
in love. Not a fan of flavored liquors & beers mixed with sodas
or many ciders in the States. English cider however, is heaven. |
 |
| Food was so delicious and presented so beautifully. Pork & apple pie |
 |
| Ridiculously named bars: Dirty Dicks |
Free Museums in London
 |
| Free Museums make my world: British Museum |
The last thing we noticed about London was all the GERMANS! They followed us. We counted exactly
27
groups of Germans. Not individuals- groups. There is no escape.
