Laura's Last Day In London

I actually slept well last night. That may have been the over 13,500 steps from yesterday! There is a wonderful barista down the street from our hotel named Nero. I head down there for a coffee and crossiant. Then I head over to the bank. The last time I was in the UK (10 long years ago), I had brought back some leftover currency. I brought it back with me this time to use. I tried to pay for our lunch yesterday, and they told me that the currency was not used anymore. So I went to the bank down the street to change it. The old paper notes and the 1 pound coin have been changed. Now my wallet is much lighter.

Today is Laura's last day in London, which means that we are shopping. We went a store called Collectif. They have new clothes but in the 1940's style. This is where Laura gets many of her dresses. We went shopping for me today. However, they don't have my size. They have an outlet store beside them, but they are closed today. I'll head back here tomorrow.

We then see the Spitalsfield Market. Sure, why not. There are plenty of stalls selling everything from leather goods to jewelry to clothing to food. We stop for some fish and chips and conrinue shopping. A few hours later, we head to Camden Market on Hawley Warf. More shopping is done here. Next on the list is the Camden Brewery. Is it considered elder abuse is Laura walks me over 15,000 steps? She didn't even water me!

We finally caught the tube back to our hotel and some well-deserved dinner. Wine is involved.

Laura had to pack up tonight. We had to buy another suitcase. It has been a jenga puzzle and hilarious to watch. Laura has to leave early tomorrow to go back to Canada. That leaves me with two more days to myself.Läs mer
