With only a few days remaining of our Excellent Adventure, we returned to London.
I immediately went on a 3 day shopping binge and blindly ignored the fact that A. I have almost no money left, and B. my luggage is already badly overweight. But I really needed those new dresses. And that jewellery. And those jeans.
Both pairs.
I caught up with my lovely friend Jo who I had missed the first time round (bloody volcano). She patiently trekked up and down Oxford St with me as I tried on at least one thing in every shop. Thanks Jo.
Sarah spent one night in Brighton visiting an old friend, and when we met up again, it was a shock to realise, we only had 2 days left.
We caught up with old friends Nat & Gerry (hi Nat & Gerry) for brunch, and had lunch with an even older friend Steve, who we went to school with. We even sneaked in a session of Eclipse (we were badly craving movies in English at this point). For those of you familiar with Eclipse, you don't need to know. Lets just say, Sarah is team wolf, and I, as always, am firmly on team vampire.
Our last day in England, since we hadn't quite had our fill of tourist spots, was spent doing a day trip to Stonehenge.
Sure, they're a bunch of half buried rocks in the middle of nowhere, and no one has any idea why they were erected in the first place, but I gotta say, those mysterious old rocks are cool. I loved that this was how we said goodbye to England.
This time anyway.
