The day after this looked and was just like the pictures above.
After getting home around 5.30am the previous night it wasn't exactly a rise and shine kind of feeling we had in the morning when we had to wake up to go make a delivery to a friend at the Finnish Seamen's Church.
I wonder what they were thinking at the Church as I entered in my Onepiece and Ellu in my baggy wolly pants, both looking not so fresh. Just to make it clear - the Finnish Seamen's Church is not exactly a church church even though it has church facilities. It's more like a gathering place for the Finns. Though being a seamen's church I think the seamen don't really use it that much these days anymore. Was different in the 90s.
After a nap we decided it was time to get active again.
Thought of going to Notting Hill but it felt a bit too late as it was nearly 4pm as we finally got on the move.
So we head off to tha citiii.
Starbucks for Ellu so that the day could really begin.
And some sushi at my favorite Itsu on Regent Street. Again with the same lovely staff as hyped about in this post. This time we got free miso soup with all sushi boxes we purchased. YUM!
All happy with full tummies it was good to go and watch a comedy show. They had a stand up comedy night at the casino we went to on Ellu's first night in London. Tickets £10 and 3 comedians.
Wasn't that funny but it was OK. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to buy tickets to the show just because 'the boy handing out flyers was just aww sooo cute'. Most lines were written beforehand and hardly any mocking of the audience was done. Lame. Mocking the audience is the best!
The comedy show only took a couple of hours but guess what...of course we were hungry again after it.
Tried to find some nice place to eat and we ended up going to an American diner near Carnaby Street.
We couldn't really finish our meals. They were so big. Or maybe it was due to the fact that we only ate a few hours before? I should understand that hunger and craving are not the same things. ;-)
Sunday
Ellu's last day in London.
We headed off to Greenwich. The DLR wasn't working so it took us longer than expected, as we could have just also taken a bus from outside my house.
I guess this blog could easily just turn into Ellu&Linda's eating diary as all I have to write or post pictures about is us...eating.
In Greenwich we walked around for a bit. Checking out the market, checking out some cafes, etc.
Decided to go to some half organic cafe where you can paint ceramic pots and all as you eat. Well, we concentrated on just the eating part.
Would you believe if I said we actually headed off to an OTHER cafe after the ceramic one? Yeah, we did. First cafe food, second cafe tea and cake - understandable, right!
It was time to go home, pick up stuff and walk to London Bridge. Of course doing the first and last touristy thing - picture by Tower Bridge.
I'm going to miss the view of TB. Just 2sec away from my house I can sit by the Thames and adore the calmness of London by night. I wish I could share the feeling with all of you but it is something you'll have to experience yourself. Last night I introduced my intern friend, Beth, to my fav spot and she was also blown away.
I'll guide you there, too, if you fancy. :-)
It's my favorite London spot now. (right after the spot in my old house in the corner of the fireplace where i used to hide money. yes, actually that is my favorite spot.)
After dropping Ellu off at the train station I headed off to Victoria. By foot! I love walking.
A uni friend and at the same time exchange friend, Jonas, was visiting London with his brother and friend so I went to high five them and join for what else than food.
On the way I saw that crazy thing in the picture above! In front there was a DJ playing chart hits and 'on board' there were girls drinking beer and pedaling like they were riding a bike. Coolbeans!!
