I left Oxford on Tuesday and made my way to London to meet up with Kat and Jess. Together we explored around a bit and then met up with a bunch of people from Grenoble to have a nice dinner.
The next day we went to Camden Market, I’ve never been there but it’s definitely a place I’d go back to again; there were tons of shops selling everything from t-shirts to cool vintage memorabilia. We met up with Mailin in the afternoon had lunch, Lama joined later and we went for high tea and when we met up with Miranda we headed out to a cool Belgium place for dinner (obsessed with food much?). The restaurant had a really cool deal called “Beat the Clock” which meant that between 5 and 6:30, depending on the time you place your order, it would cost you that much in pounds, i.e. we ordered at 5:50, and that’s how much our meals cost. Pretty cool. After dinner, Kat and I headed back to George’s house to watch some movies and hang out. Despite our intention of taking advantaging of being near Hampton Court Palace, we decided that we really weren’t in the mood to go see the gardens and a maze, quite frankly I wasn’t a fan of paying 4 pounds to get lost in a maze... I tend to get lost frequently for free.
On Thursday night Kat and I made our way to Highgate to meet up with her friends from Wales who are now living and working in London. I snuck in one last Grenoble reunion to see Rhyanna, I haven’t seen her for nearly two years but it was as though only two weeks had passed.
My last day in London was great, I had my eyes glued to the TV watching the Royal Wedding. I don’t know why I cared so much about it but I definitely got sucked into the moment and bought a commemorative mug, and magnet.I was crying when Kate walked down the aisle. Don’t judge.
I'm pretty bummed that my trip is over but I want to personally thank my cousin Geoff for letting me stay in Oxford, as well as George and Kat’s Wales Crew for letting me crash whilst in London. To all the new people that I met, it was a pleasure, and thanks to the Grenoble crew for making the effort to make our reunion so great. Miss you all already.
I'm back in Malta for the last leg of my course and I only have two and a half more modules left until I’m back home for the summer to work on my thesis. Start the countdown.
