Day 3 - England Trip -

I know- it was a month ago...but I've been busy, and there are more pictures!!!

Our hostel was great- I think I'll use them from now on- and no- I haven't seen the movie


always a nice walk to get to places...


and here we are! the Portobello Road...market a mile long (and I can vouche for that)


Anyone recognize this? Travel Bookshop from Notting Hill? It was even equipped with a cute dark haired man and a slightly off one, wearing a Mr. Rogers sweater...


These guys were so amazing, I bought their cd - They're kind of...Jack Johnson mixed with U2? Is that accurate, Lyss? If ya want a copy- let me know


I love everything about this place, but the LINGO is so adorable....


these guys win the prize for cute- but not so hot in the "nice to listen to" department...




What's this?!?! A bee shop, you say?! That it is!!! Can you tell how excited I was?!?!?!?! They didn't have much in the way of bee supplies, but had plenty of things for me to shreak about....
-a multi-chambered beehive resembling a bird house
-about 20 different varieties of honey
-entire FRAMES of honey for sale! This is GENIUS! They charge about 70 pounds for it = to about $130!!!! The GENIUS is: you don't have to do a THING to it, and you're charging MORE for it?! Genius.
-oi I can't remember what else...time to go back then...


and I thought i should mention....Halloween over there is more for the adults than kids. We stopped by a pub and there was live "Halloween" music (which Gerrit hated, I loved ;), and even some men dressed as Pride and Predjice characters. Yup...Mr. Darcy was there! But Mr. Darcy was 18...YES I know I suck at judging age! Anyways, it was a fun night- ending with a good flick. So good that I forget what it was called!
