After a delicious lie in (9am out of bed) we had breakfast across the road from the terrifying royal national hotel and then checked out at 11am. We walked to Russell Square tube station and caught it to Finsbury Park where we had to change to a national train line…which had no signs and lots of stairs!
We were lucky, the first train we got on happened to be right. Plus a very weird but helpful drunk soccer fan helped us out. Ahh the English.
In total it took us an hour and a bit and £10 each to get there which wasn’t bad considering our noob status on the tube. Our lovely aunt came to pick us up and we had lunch with her (Jane), Nick, Sarah and Rebecca. We then attempted to go and play golf as an afternoon activity but the wait was 2hrs long so we ended up at a massive shopping centre instead. Emma and twin #1 Sarah went off to shop and myself and twin #2 Rebecca went to play in the apple store and be dorks.
Rebecca was horrified to find out I was 26. That’s so old! I suppose it is to a 17 yr old.
After shopping we went out to a local Indian place for dinner (minus the girls who have social lives) and then to the pub. There was a huge bar fight at the pub and my uncle watched on gleefully, he used to be a detective so thought it was amazing to watch the lead up, punching and then after effects of it all! As we were leaving he realised the cops had left the cop car running with the keys in the ignition and suggested stealing it to teach him a lesson…
We all walked home (too much beer and cider) and ate drunken toasted cheese sandwiches. Then bed.
I quite like my English family, they promised to take us to play gold next time we are here hahahaha. Back into London today to explore for a few days 🙂
Head cold and asthma seem to be improving, I think being away from all the cigarette smoke indoors throughout Europe is definitely helping.
