Day 4
I was out late the night before at Fabric nightclub with a couple guys on the trip. For a Sunday afternoon, I figured heading to Camden Town would be a great time spent. To get there, i walked for about 30 minutes along the shores of the north London canal. It looked like people have houseboats docked up but I did not see a yellow submarine. Once I happened upon the first market, I was in for a good afternoon. Camden Town is a hip, bustling shopping area unlike any other typical tourist shopping district. MTV has their Europe studios in this neighborhood. The streets were packed with shoppers, local and foreign. The stores were just as multicultural. Food carts and stands provided a diverse choice of food as well. I snacked on an authentic bowl of Chinese food. I looked around many shops and picked up an Indian 'paper star', I'll find a light to put in the paper star for my room at college next year. I also picke up an Olympic flag for 5 pounds. A perfect souvenir for this experience. I later finished my afternoon by having a beer in the 'world end pub' this watering hole was established before the black plaque swept through London. Fascinating to think about...I got caught in a rain storm and sought cover under an awning over an Indian food stand. Whatever it was that I had for dinner was really good. I headed back down the canal having had a great afternoon in Camden Town.
