Catch Up

Monday September 3

I wrote the post for Monday but never got around to saving and posting it, so it has since been lost. Oh well. I’ll try my best to remember what went down, but I didn’t do anything especially spectacular.

James and I went to Brick lane in the late afternoon to have a look around. Brick Lane is a very Indian part of East London so he was determined that we come back that evening for a ‘proper curry’, one of his favorite dishes. After walking up and down Brick Lane we wandered around London a bit more and made our way to St. Paul’s Cathedral. After a bit more wandering we headed to see the Muffin Man. I don’t know if you know him or not, but he definitely does not live on Drury Lane. Hungry and muffinless we went back to Brick Lane for our curry.





A delicious meal later we decided to brave the crowds and head home. Did I mention that the London Underground workers decided to go on strike? Yes, the unhappy metronet workers decided to make life just a little more difficult for the 11 million or so people who live in the greater London area. We headed to the station and watched as train after train passed by and 2-3 people crammed themselves onto the already overcrowded trains. Talk about miserable.


After a sweaty and uncomfortable ride we finally made it home and popped in our trusty Prison Break DVD and watched an episode or four.

Tuesday September 4th

Due to the underground strike we decided that it would be unwise to venture into London. Instead we decided to watch about 7 episodes of Prison Break and make and make a fruitless journey to the mall to get the rest of season 1. What a lovely lazy day.

Wednesday September 5th

With the strike over, but nothing resolved, we headed back to London in an attempt to see Temple church. For those of you that have read the DaVinci code you are well aware of the importance of Temple church. For those of you have not, or simply don’t remember, it’s a quick read. Have a go.




After Temple church we walked to Westminster to see Parliament and Buckingham Palace. That’s pretty much all we did. Walked around, saw the sights and took a million pictures because it was a sunny day in Londontown.
