A weekend to remember

Boy did we have fun this weekend!! V & M came here for some London adventures!!

Thursday
Me and D pick up some pizzas and before we meet the happy couple by Golders Green station in the afternoon. We all head back home and share the pizzas over some laughs and walks through memory lane.

Friday
V & M hit London town to see the usual sightseeing stuff (Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge and Tower of London etc...) while me and D are at work. After work we meet those little troublemakers for some after work pints at P&P by Bank station. Mark, D's former workmate from NYC (Sheffield) joined us as well. After a pint we hit All Bar One on Cannon Street for some tapas. Yummy! We had so much fun! Visa even convinced the funny waitress to try snus!!

After that we headed to the pubs in Soho. We found one that was half empty but had a good DJ so me and M hit the dance floor to show off our dance moves.

At midnight we were so tired we decided to take the Tube home... While me and M were a bit tired, the boys crossed their legs and read the newspaper...

Saturday

We started with day by going to funky Camden town. The boys really fancied the massive doughnuts!

Maria went into shop after shop and started to get this weird look in her eyes and it was hardly possible to make contact with her. When she started sweating we establish a diagnosis: it was a clear case of shopping fever. The fever didn't exactly go down when we hit super busy Oxford street!

We all snapped out of the shopping fever for a second when hundreds of naked cyclist swooshed down Oxford Street. A funny surprise!!

Sunday
Sunday was the last day for V & M here in London so we decided to go for a walk in our neighborhood - Hampstead Garden Suburb. Pictured above are V, M and D trying to imitate the weird Australian animals - I call them "Beaver deers", because that's what they resemble... I think M does the best impression!


We had lunch in the Bull & Bush pub by Golders Hill park. V was so happy he got to try proper British Fish and Chips!!
The weekend just flew by way too fast. As the saying goes: time flies when you have fun.
Next time we see M & V will be in Stockholm. We miss them already!
