Today, we got up around 9:30 to head into London to do some exploring. We decided to check out Camden Market, which has kind of an alternative vibe. Lots of girly goth / steampunk dresses, black, and plaid. Piercing accessories, tattoo parlors, etc. Sam stocked up on super girly dresses, and the rest of us experienced shopping fatigue.
We ate lunch at a little pub right across from the main stalls of Camden Market. It was decent, but not remarkable.
After we tired of shopping, we headed back to the house so Poodle and Sam could get ready to go back out for the evening to see the dude who plays Moriarty in the BBC show Sherlock in some weird play that involved a slowly sinking stage… They stayed to take a photo with the star at the end of the show, and he was incredibly polite and friendly.
Mom and I stayed near our apartment, and took the bus from the house on an adventure to find food. We just jumped on the bus, and headed to the O2 center, where we ate some touristy italian food. We wandered out to the river to watch some of those sky-borne people movers crossing the thames, as well as some large foot ferries.
We took the bus back to the house and played a low-key game of Carcassonne. Sam and Laura got back much earlier than expected. We thought they would be heading out to a bar after the show to try to find their future British husbands, but apparently the bars all close super early, because the trains stop running around midnight. They were home before 11:30, and we set an early-ish rendezvous for Saturday morning, to begin a hop-on-hop-off bus tour.
