Sandwich City

Well, day three and a half has started of well - the sun is again shining down on us - and we are in the heart of london remember!?
Yesterday (sat) Towsty met us at Victoria Station at Starbucks #114432234 (yeah, and they had no hot water!???) so we could plan our attack for the day. Since being here he hasnt done many touristy related things - so we thought it was a great opportunity for all.
We headed by foot to Westminster Abbey, Parliament and toward the London Eye - along with the rest of the world it seemed. From there we caught the tube to the Camden Markets. (For those of you who are not aware of such a place, they are the largest markets in the southern Hemisphere. That, and Rez informed me that this is where Geri (aka Ginger Spice) bought outfits for the spice girls once apon a era of bad taste. Well, after days of perfect winter weather, it kinda sunk in that we were in London. Umbrellaless, the heavens opened - it somewhat seemed unexpected, however open aired markets in London seemed like a bad idea to us in the first place!

After having lunch, being drenched and buying our first purchases in London (yes, thats right, I have been here since Thursday and hadnt yet bought a thing - besides our 10p sangers for dinner each night lol) we headed for the tube - well, so was everyone else (they must have followed us from the London Eye!!) A decision needed to be made - hmmm, tube, Worlds End pub on one side, and The 1/2way House pub on the other - well we made the right decision. We entered the 1/2way and proceeded throught the smoke filled bar to a cosy nook in the corner - to defrost among other things.
An Irish guy next to me asked me to mind his stuff while he went to the mens (I think that is what he said?) so, I did!?? and got friendly-ee paid out by a group of guys - before the other guys returned to stick up for me. Needless to say that when you protect a guys beer and a packet of smokes, you have friends for life!
