London is incredible, it's like Newtown on steroids, everyone is friendly, everyone's there to have a good time, the night life is crazy, the shopping is ridiculous and the buskers sound better then what's on your radio.
Day 1 - Finally get to our hostel after a long hike with our heavy backpacks and we start getting ourselves ready for church. Church on halloween weekend isn't like a usual church; there's strippers, booze, and guys and girls dressed to impress! We got our face paint on and we're ready to party! Drinks flowing, good company, a wild experience in the church and a black cab home before 7pm, London is crazy.
Day 2 - Everyone's feeling weathered so we devour some free breakfast and hit Oxford St to spend our savings!
Day 3 - After spending the weekend in the colourful suburb of Kings Cross we pack up and move to Camden where we will be welcoming Finni after a long 2 months apart! While in a our hostel we run into an old mate from back home and had a Mexican fiesta and beers for dinner!
Day 4 - Being conveniently located minutes away from Camden markets means our wallets are growing smaller! We spent the morning browsing through vintage clothes and jewelry before heading back to our hostel to welcome Jacq and Annalise! We're all together again and ready for more halloween celebrations, we got dressed up and began pub crawling through Camden's back streets!
Day 5 - After a big night out and nursing a hefty hangover we went to Camden markets and had one last family dinner together at Thai before saying our goodbyes to the girls!
Day 6 - Early morning wake-ups, free breakfast and a sight seeing tour booked for today! We explored M&M world, gawked at the guards of buckingham palace, road the London eye to see London from the sky, took ridiculous tourist photos of the big Ben and the Abbeys that littered London and drove across the London bridge before getting home in time for dinner and a farewell drink to Finni!
Day 7 - It's our last full day here so we hit up Camden Markets and Oxford St to blow some last minute cash! For dinner us girls had an Italian feed together with wine and goodbyes.
Day 8 - It's officially the worst day of our travels, the flight home is in 10 hours and we're all feeling emotional already. After a quick run to Abbey Road to walk the same crossing as The Beatles we all meet up in central London with a friend from Mykonos for lunch; we ate bangers and mash overlooking the London canals and laughed at all our crazy adventures we'd had. Now back to our hostel to collect all our luggage, trek it to the station and say our final and teary goodbyes to the girls.
Europe, I'll be back soon!
