Portabello Road

Since I didn't get up until way late Tuesday, I decided to head over to Portabello Road. It's a famous open market, where you can buy anything from turnips to watches to motorcycles. Kinda like a giant flea market. It's rather significant to my family, because it's a rather major part of the movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks, which we used to watch a lot.

Since it was a weekday it wasn't especially huge. I head it gets rediculous on the weekends. But, it was three blocks of carts and shops all along the street. Took some pictures, and wandered for a bit. Looked for something to buy, but didn't see anything I couldn't do without.

After that, I headed towards the Holiday Inn to catch up with the rest of the group, since they had talked about the London Eye. I caught them in a local pub, having just come from their assessments at the school. We talked for awhile, then headed to the hotel. I could no longer coax them into doing the London Eye, so Matthias, Kyle, and I went out looking for a very famous D&B club called Fabric. We didn't find it, but were told it was closed on a weekday anyhow. It was pouring rain, and we were getting quite soaked, so, we stopped at a really nice pub. It was friendly, clean, and cheap, so we sat and dried off untill they closed at 11pm.

We tried to take a bus back, which was a comedy of errors. It reminded me of the spongebob episode where he is waiting at a bus stop and the bus never comes, but as soon as he steps away for a split second, one goes whizzing past. So, we walked back to the hotel. They were talking about taking in more sights in the morning, and I didn't want to oversleep again and miss that, so I just crashed on the floor at their hotel.
