Harrods and Camden Market - from Joan

---

So...today we went to the infamous Harrod's department store. We bought cheese and apple danish and a breakfast roll for Scott. At the pizza counter, one of the chefs was tossing dough as he sang from a well known operatic aria. It was most impressive, seeing as none of us can even properly toss pizza dough!

We mapped our way to the "toilette por homme" and Hunter found it to be quite fancy, especially for department store.

We left Harrod's and travelled down the street to a tavern. Down the stairs we were directed. We entered the restaurant and the talking inside immediately stopped! WEIRD!! It was filled with a LOUD group of French. I sampled my first taste of "bangers & mash" (sausages & mashed potatoes). Good enough to have again. Hunter had a sampler plate with chicken wings, nachos (doritos with sour cream?!), and Scott had a hamburger AGAIN-I think his 3rd since being here!

On to Camden Market! Hmmm...VERY punk. Very crowded. Most interesting! There was the girl with the bright pink hair and various piercings, Prince Albert COVERED in tattoos and his face COVERED in piercings, and the girl with the hair dyed to look like a red, black and white hat. Didn't pay a lot of attention to the actual items for sale!

Wish I had a pedometer to measure the miles walked over the past week. It would be astounding I'm sure!
