One week ago I was reunited with my long lost BFF- Jellybean Jessica. After the crazy, hectic move to the new flat, I picked Jess up from the airport on Monday morning. We had a low-key day on Monday, just doing some shopping and visiting Putney and Roehampton. Jess made a delicious dinner - some sort of sun dried tomato pasta dish. Delicious. (Please send me this recipe, Jellybean!) Tuesday we went to the city and headed to the British Museum and the Tate Modern for some educational fun. The British Museum is always impressive with all of its ancient stuff. We also went to the Tate Modern and saw some ... modern stuff. It rained on our way to the Tate, and crossing the millennium bridge was especially challenging with what felt like tornado-force winds and rain coming from every direction. But hey, at least we got to walk across the Harry Potter bridge! Tuesday night was the monthly Gits and Shiggles comedy show at the Half Moon. It was particularly entertaining this time. I think Jess really liked a taste of British comedy and Putney night life.
Wednesday we explored the city, did the normal touristy stuff. Weather was good considering it was supposed to rain the entire day and only actually rained for about an hour. We almost glimpsed the queen outside of Buckingham Palace, but when the rain came suddenly we weren't interested in waiting around to see her anymore. We did some souvenir shopping and had sushi for dinner. Nomnom.
Thursday we went to the Tower of London. It rained pretty much the entire day so it dampened our spirits and washed away our desire to visit Borough Market. We did do some fun singing in the rain scenes, thought, which I am fairly sure delighted all of the locals that drove by. Thursday evening we packed up and headed to the airport for an Icelandic adventure!
Once again, I failed to take any pictures so here are some that I stole from Jessica's Facebook!
