.... and wandered around, I bought some funky records with that ol' Motown Sound. I miss you like a left arm, that's been lost in a war - Today I dream of home and not of London anymore...

or so the song goes. The first thing that I want to say is that I incorrectly titled yesterdays post "Last day in London". I did that because it was early in the morning and I was typing it on our last day, but actually reporting on the second last day. Oh well, you'll all get over it.

Second thing to be mentioned before I start crapping on about the last day is that if head on over to our photos page (click the link down and to the right) you can check out all of our happy snaps.

So what did we actually do on our last day in London, well, we caught the tube over to Camden and wandered around. Didn't see any funky records, but we had a delicious curry and saw a whole lot of weird shit and a whole lot of weird people that buy said weird shit. Everything from knee high boots with spikes in the front, to t-shirts with built in flashing signs to Soviet military uniforms.

Following this, we caught our first double decker bus back to Jason's place to download the photos from the camera, and then, being fairly exhausted from being on our feet all week, we whiled away the afternoon at the most traditional looking English pub we could find. I had one of those traditional, luke warm, hand pumped ales that the poms seem to crap on about, and maybe it's like Vegemite in that you have to be brought up on it to like it, but my verdict is meh. However, the traditional pies we had for dinner were deeeelish.

And that was London. A pretty cool place on the whole, but definitely in the nice place to visit but you wouldn't wan't to live there category. I will admit that our perspective was a little warped by the steamy tropical weather that is as rare in London as snow in Adelaide, and the fact that we were staying in a hot 3rd floor bunkroom which only had a window that opened wide enough to let in the noise of the road works downstairs that started at 5 every morning. It is grand and fascinating city though, and we are better people for having been.
