2nd & 3rd day in London





There was a make shift market behind the hotel (just like our pasar malam). These stalls start their business at 8am but shops are only open at 10am and close at 5pm (malas lah Mat Saleh), After lunch at the Sub Way yesterday, we left for Central London, We walked n walked n walked n walked sampai kengkang baru balik……..by then its 7pm. Pewai la.

Today we left for Portobello before 8am. The crowd was unbelievable. There were so many Spaniards there……fans of Barcelona Football Club (tonight is the EUFA Champion league final between Barcelona and Manchester United in Wembley),

Portobello is a well known Bohemian market where retro and antiques are much the thorough fare. I can’t resist at the many old clocks on sale. So, I bought one for my self. Its embarrassing to say that I will be self collecting 3 more clocks bought earlier through ebay. Wifey, as usual………shopping for bone china and more shopping. Now I am thinking how to bring them back to Singapore.

After Portobello, we headed for Oxford Street. It was madness there with the soccer fans of both teams in town. We even had problem going back to the hotel by the tube. It was so bad that tube stations were close due to overcrowding. In the end, we had to take the bus. It was all day long of walking and walking and more walking. Semalam punya pewai belum hilang lagi.
