Day Thirty Four - The End Is Near...

This morning I woke up to the sound of Joshua making his world famous pancakes. And they deserve to be world famous. They were delicious! We three sat and ate them with strawberries, blueberries, maple syrup and orange juice whilst watching a Spanish film called 'Flesh' (it's not as dirty as it sounds) starring Penelope Cruz and the mean guy (Javier Bardem) from No Country For Old Men.

I then headed to Chris and Piet's place for a quick goodbye and to drop off their London A-Z. Then headed to Bricklane where I met Trigg for a Bricklane Bagel (we both got bacon and egg - quite fatty and messy!) and a beer.


We drank Bitter which Trigg told me was supposed to be warm and flat. It definitely tasted warm and flat!


There are men outside each curry store in Bricklane who try to offer you deals (free beer, 20% off etc) so that you go to their store and not the one next door to them!

Then headed home and grabbed my bags, said goodbye to Nick and Joshua and gifted them a Flight Of The Conchords CD which Nick said he'd use to it to further New Zealandise Joshua!

I've had a marvellous time in London. I've seen nine shows in one week. Not bad. And I've also seen some sights and generally lived like a Londoner. I wouldn't mind moving here next year and working at The Swan Bar with Trigg whilst mingling with theatre lovers from The Globe! Maybe I'll do that before starting a year at Ecole Philippe Gaulier in October...

So now the end is near! I'm about to board my plane. A 25hr flight via Hong Kong. Can't wait to come home to New Zealand!


Cheers London!
