First of all, it has been so great hanging out with Kirsten again! We spent the afternoon wandering around South Bank (the south bank of the Thames). We had a really nice lunch at a microbrewery and then worked our way down past the Globe theatre to a random little pub and partook the tradition Pimms Jug, which is a pitcher of Pimms and soda water and a mix of mint, lemons, and cucumber slices (unfortunately no strawberries at this place). Then we took advantage of our reasonably priced hostel bar and made friends with Scott and Menno, two south Australians. Menno came out with Kirsten and I for a nighttime stroll back down to the river where we got some more drinks, but were overall disappointed with the fact that bars were closing at 11PM on Sunday evening. I also magically found a weird chicken restaurant that was open late and got a fried chicken sandwich that came with a hashbrown patty on it. We then had the pleasure of explaining the concept of Waffle House to Menno. We got back to the hostel bar in time to see some live music by a perfectly decent cover duo, and watched a spectacularly adorable drunk couple attempt to do Dirty Dancing style lifts to "Hotel California".
Not a bad way to spend a day at all.
Its now about 7PM the following day, but we're getting ready to go out, so I'll refrain from telling you about today until its actually over. I will however say that I'm in a pub watching rugby on TV and eating fruit snacks while I type. La la la, life is fab...
