Day 2 - no more shopping please

After a long, much needed 12 hour sleep last night, we were ready to conquer another busy day in London. First, we bought an Underground pass that is unlimited all day, which was about £6 (a bit pricey, but a good deal for all that we got to do). After that, we went to the home of the queen, Buckingham Palace, which was RIDICULOUSLY crowded.





Then we were off to the Camden Market, another vintagey cute area that was a lot like St. Marks place in the city but much bigger and more crowded. Again, the vintage was generally overpriced and nothing too special. London vintage is such a gimmick! I got a cool watch for £10 and tank top for£5 from a craft fair thingy, which was cool. London is really expensive...we never thought we'd be saying this but we cant wait to use Euros!


Then we went to the Topshop flagship store!! It was the biggest Topshop I've ever seen but it was still VERY pricey, so we didnt really get anything....except i got a white dress from the sale section....look for it next summer on shabbat!


We went the the big time tourist areas like Big Ben and Parliament Sqare. And of course we had to get in the classic telephone booth pictures. Trust me when I say, it smells like SHIT AND PISS in there...no one would be able to be in there long enough to actually make a call.








It was getting time for dinner, so on our way home we remembered that we can legally drink here, and its not illegal to drink on the streets, so we went into a random store and thought we picked up a 'shanty' which is beer and lemonade, but what we actually picked up was something else, which tasted like rum and lemonade. It was good but had a strange aftertaste so we probably wont get it again.






Right now Rachel is at Billy Elliot (yep the broadway show) and I am sitting at home uploading pictures and being a loser cause i spent too much money shopping so i couldn't afford to pay for the show. But its okay cause when her show is over, we are going Clubbing! And guess whats REALLY big in London right now?? DUBSTEPPINGG!! We've been hearing it everywhere, and I am pretty sure that the DJs at the club tonight will be playing dubstep music. So we'll learn some new dance moves and some good songs and bring em back with us to America. Okay...I think im gonna take a nap now...need some energy for the night! I put a bunch more pictures on facebook if ya wanna see.

p.s. I doubt that I will be able to add pictures to any other posts because we will be using public computers...sorry!
