More Recapping from London
On the fourth we returned to Borough Market to buy some dinner for the evening, Abby and I went with the bread and cheese (which was delicious). We also enjoyed balkiva and Turkish Delights from a dessert booth where the two men working could not get enough of the new American women they had just met ha! We enjoyed lunch with Mati that afternoon at a Thai food restaurant, then went to Notting Hill- where Abby and I decided to move and be roomies forever. It was such a gorgeous part of London. The funniest part of being in Notting Hill was watching a woman trying to get out of her spot on the street. She proceeded to back into the car behind her and drive away. Abbs and I could not stop laughing, or manage to get the words out to tell the others what was so funny.
After our day of shopping, we returned to the hostel to get ready for our evening out! We got to Apollo Victoria Theater and found our seats inside for Wicked! It was fabulous...again! (I saw it in the States with my bff Emily, and I loved it just as much) A little different than the US version, as the accents made for some good laughs. Abby L absolutely loved it, and even got a little emotional during some of the songs:)
We got back to the hostel to discover it was Jason's birthday (another guest staying at the same hostel we were). We decided we could go down to the bar for "one drink" and even got Joannes- our fabulous roommate from Germany- to come with us. The night was a memorable one to say the least:)
The next morning Abby N and I made our way to Tim and Kat's house. Abby, who was not feeling so well after a long night out, and I checked out a little later than expected. Johannes was sad to see us go, but walked us out of the hostel and offered us a place to stay if we were ever in London again. What a sweetheart. We got out to Watford Junction where Abby’s friend, Tim Crosby, picked us up. It was quite the experience being in a car with the steering wheel on the opposite side. Crosby took us to his place and offered us some tea and lunch, and then we all headed to meet up with Tim and Kat at Kat’s football game. It was nice to finally put faces to the names that Abby talked so much about! In desperate need of a good shower, Abby and I went back to Crosby’s to get ready for Matt’s birthday dinner (another friend of Abby’s whom she met in South Africa at a football camp). I very much enjoyed my margarita pizza, Abby was more cautious about eating hers;) We originally were going to stay in the London Bridge Station, but Matt told us absolutely not! He found us a hostel nearby to stay in and said if he found out that we ended up staying in the station he would not be pleased with us. Loved Hostel 161, 18 beds all bunked and separated by a wall was too funny; especially when Abby’s alarm went off at 4:20 AM saying, “it is 4:20, time to get up!” over and over again in a British accent. We knew our six other roommates really enjoyed it haha.
