Last days in London Town
We've been based over here in London for about 16 months now and we're finally nearing the end of our big Euro trip. Tomorrow we fly out of here for the penultimate time. We're embarking on one big backpacking final leg of this trip starting in Portugal, before catching the train across and all over Spain, before flying to Rome again and catching the train to the French Riviera. In a month's time we'll be back in London for a day and a half before flying out of here for good to Hong Kong.
Tam's been glamming it up in the temp industry for the last couple of weeks. Ok, slumming it really and catching up on some long overdue shopping sprees. I finished up at my work on Friday and am now happily unemployed and a man of leisure.
Here are some photos of my "good riddance" party/my boss Dee's "congratulations you're getting married" party. Here's my boss Dee, Rebecca, Jane and me out on my big boss's balcony (the only one in our building). The building behind us is a maternity hospital and is one of the reasons I won't be missing work there as you can always hear the screams.
This is Dee's gift of a UCL bus
On Friday night we had some drinks with Cam (our housemate from Melbourne), Kelly (our previous Kiwi housemate). Here's some photos of us posing curiously diagonally.
We had some drinks and snacks at home we headed up to a local Italian restaurant (Renezio) for some delicious pasta, side salad and garlic bread (for £6) and a couple of carafes of house red. Feeling thoroughly fed and drunk'd we left, and stopped over at the Bush Bar for a cocktail. We then came home and that's all I've got to say about that.
The next morning we got up really late and we visited the Portobello Market for the last time. Tam made her first and last purchase there of a very cool top by designers Emily & Fin. We also had some fantastic vegetarian fare from The Grain Shop. Then we headed to Hammersmith to get some couture from Primark.
Tam then went to meet her Hungarian friend Eva in Greenwich whilst I headed to Heathrow to pick up our friend Jesz, who's been living up the good life in Shanghai as part of "The Lion King" team. We then met up with Tam and Eva at the Clock Gate at Greenwich for some pub grub and some drinks.

The next day we took some photos of each other on the tube.
We stopped off for lunch fromat near the Portobello Markets at that cool little vegetarian place and sat in the children´s playground to eat.
Then we visited the Camden Markets once more for the last time.
Then we returned to London Town and indulged in some Ben & Jerry´s ice cream and a waffle from Oxford Street.
Jesz had been in Shanghai for four months working on the Lion King musical there and we just had to snap some of the local Disney propaganda.
