Free day!

it was a long and tiring trip back from Paris but we were able to sleep in this morning and it was amazing! once we finally got ourselves up and around we decided to take off and finish up our shopping in Camden Town. again Camden Town is the place where there are TONS of little shops that will deal with you on the prices :) once we got there we all got lots of trinkets to bring back for friends and family and we even got to see more street acts which are always interesting to me since Chadron lacks in that aspect.


Chelsea made the comment when we were trying to figure out how they were "magically" floating that "she gave up, and couldn't figure out how any of them were floating except Yoda. Yoda makes since because the force is strong with him."
 it was quite a comical moment 

this was a perfume shop and all of the bottles were different scents and you could mix and match to make your own scent. I spend quite a lot of time in here and got a few things! :) 

this was our view of the London eye, which we were so excited to go on and then never did. yep, we never went on it. why? I have no idea. we were literally in the line and decided we were to hungry and then the sun was setting and would of been in our eyes and we wouldn't of been able to see anything and so unfortunately we never had the opportunity to do this. i'm still a little disappointed. 

this as you can see is the London dungeon. I WAS SOOOO ready to do this, so we all went and stood in line after eating to get our tickets. and when we finally got to the counter to order our tickets we were informed it was already closed for the day. so we made plans to do it on Friday. ill give you a little spoiler alert, it didn't happen then either. I think out of everything this is the one thing i am most upset i didn't get to do. 
the London dungeon takes you back in time to relive some gory historical events and does it with a mixture of live actors, special effects and rides. this will be on my list if i ever make it back. 

here is a little Mexican food stand that was in Camden Town where we ate. it was very very good!!


all in all we had a very good day bumming around and getting lost for the first time on the tube (which is a lot of the reason why we didn't have time to do the London eye or dungeon) and after supper we headed back to the hotel to catch up on our blogs. Chelsea was nice enough to hand over her computer so I could try and catch up since I was only able to blog when either her or Laura were not and then it was off to bed. tomorrow will be our Legal walk and my trip with Laura to meet some of her family that lives here. :)
