We started with aFull English Breakfast in 'The Elephants Head'. This was a much nicer then the one we had yesterday at a small greasy spoon off Trafalgar Square. Eating in pubs is a bit hard to get used to because people are allowed to smoke; restaurants also have smoking areas. Apparently all smoking in pubs and restaurant is going to be banned in June or July this year.The good thing with the pub was that we got a window seat so we could watch the crowd go past. Lots of goths and alternative fashions worn in Camden so quite interesting to watch.
After brunch we spent the rest of the day walking through the markets.
One of the best stores we went into was called Cyberdog. It supports the dance/rave culture and sells all sorts of glow-in-the-dark outfits, some with changing LED displays. They have a DJ playing thumping dance music, dancers up on podiums and black lights everywhere so it almost feels more like a club then a store. It was hilarious to watch people buying clothes like tight day-glo pants with enormous puffy bottoms.
That morning we had stopped at King's Cross Station to pick up out tickets for our train trip to Edinburgh tomorrow. This was pretty cool since we ordered out tickets on the web back in New Zealand, then to get the tickets we found a Fastticket booth, put in our credit card and it printed out the tickets !
So tonight is our last night at Simon's as we are off to Edinburgh tomorrow. Apart from not seeing Simon for a week or so we are also going to lose access to his nice high speed broadband and his laptop. Oh the manatee! So our posts may become a little less frequent and less likely to have pictures for the next wee while :(
Anyway off to dinner with Simon now at Shish, Turkish restaurant with yummy tapas style mezze dishes and Baklava ice cream!
