A sunny weekend

It took about an hour of pretty brisk walking to get to Camden High Street. (I know, I know, that's not something Filipinos do. In Manila, we think 20 minutes of walking is long and we don't even walk fast. Here, public transportation is good but it's expensive.) We didn't reach the market area, but we got to the 99p shop. I'll be back there for sure.

Saturday afternoon: Cross-town
I took the bus with Ria (also Filipino, a King's College student who lives on the same floor as I do--fourth if you count the ground floor as the first floor, third if you start counting from one after ground floor) to London Bridge station. Ah yes, there was a huge billboard of Fergie (Black Eyed Peas) promoting her single. "How come every time you come around..."

We then skimmed the Thames to the Globe Theatre and the Millennium Bridge, crossed over to St. Paul's Cathedral and took the scenic bus 15 route across the heart of town to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.

Sunday morning: Angel
Eight of us looked for the Angel Canal Festival, only to find out that it happened two weekends ago. We went instead to the market and shops at Angel and made it back home in time for lunch.
