I’ve been to London a few times, seen the sites and ate the fish and chips so my 3 day layover was more of a social visit to catch up with people from Grenoble and fellow Canadians staying in London. After my 10 hours of sleep on Wednesday, Kat and I explored London and met up with Alex and Nicole- my fellow Canadian/Western buddies for a 3 hour pizza lunch and then a quick pop over to Oxford Street to check out the shops. As much as I enjoy London, I do not think I could ever afford to live there, mainly because I could not afford to buy Revlon nail polish. Tell me how I can get it at home at a Walmart for $2.97 and I saw it for £6.29!!! Crazy.
My last day in London was spent meeting up with loads of Grenoblois: enjoyed a roast dinner on a ciabatta bun courtesy of Jamie Hayes, spotted Agyness Deyn with Mark (even though he has NO idea who she is) followed by a quick chat with Mirandizzle near the tube station and later enjoyed some pints in Putney Green with Lucy, Mark, Kat and Simon.
Before heading off to the airport, the girlies had one last meal in Starbucks who then helped me bring my stuff to the train station to meet up with Mark. Thanks to all of you who helped me. Again, I could not have done that by myself and I really think I need to learn how to pack light. When I checked in at Gatwick, the lady told me I had to pay 300 pounds due to extra luggage but thankfully we ( I say we, I mean mom and dad) paid in advance so I covered the 5 extra kilos and pitched out 50 pounds just so that I wouldn’t have to leave anything behind. You can’t sacrifice fashion right? So all is well so far and thus starts the beginning of my Maltese adventure.
