One down, nine to go

Well, Kim and I have visited and seen all we could see in London as of 4 today. Considering how much pain my body is in from unusual travel and excessive exercise, I would say we did quite a bit. Today we decided to visit a local market on Notting hill, which is practically in our backyard. It was very cool with all the different food and clothing people brought to sell. Let me just add that this trip wouldn't be a kim vawter trip without a little controversy. Apparently a little photo shoot of this womans amazing pastries didn't push her in the right direction...actually to be honest she was PISSED. If Kim would have actually realized she was yelling at her I'm sure there would have been words exchanged, wonder what side of the bed she woke up on. After that nice encounter we were going to go see the changing of the guards at buckingham palace but just missed it. Another market just a few trains stops away was even more intense, this was focused a lot more on food from all over the world...a little bit overwhelming at times and in a very 'unque' area. We also decided this was a good time to make an appearance at another pub and after exploring their beer tap i asked the nice gentleman for half guiness, half cider (black velvet for those of you who know what a good combo is). I then of course received a very odd stare from not only him but a few bar guests and after my failure to convince them it was good he went on to make it anyway. Since we only had part of the day, we had to head back to the house to get our packs and head over to the station. You could never imagine how awkward and time consuming it is to walk around with these puppies. OH and we have booked our hostel in Amsterdam this week in a place called 'the flying pig' can't wait to experience that one...maybe letting Kim book the first hostel was a good enough lesson, I guess we'll find out...
