Today we decided to have a mega sleep in. I don't think we got up until about 10-11, and didn't leave the hostel until about 1pm! We went for a walk up the street to go find some 'high tea'. Which I discovered is not actually what I thought it was. I imagine high tea as having those pretty little cups, a pot of tea, scones and biscuits etc, but apparently the real meaning of high tea is more like a meal, and comes from the idea of having tea and food at a high table as opposed to having tea and scones in comfy chairs at a low table (afternoon tea). So we had afternoon tea. The little tea shop we found was called yumchaa ('yum' meaning tasty, and 'chaa' meaning tea). They had about 50 small cups of tea leaves at the counter, so you could smell each of the blends to help decide which one you wanted! I had one called 'regents park', Darren had 'adventure', and Lyle had 'chili chili bang bang'. And we had a selection of sweet and savory scones too. It was very tasty! After that, we got the tube in to London, to try catch the evensong service at Westminster again. We were a bit early, so we had a drink and a small bite to eat at a pub called the Silver Cross, and did our Eurotube video (http://youtu.be/OEs6UkYDp-Q). Then we pretty much power walked/ran to the abbey, cos we were running a bit late! When we got there we found out that the abbey was only doing an evening prayer service, so there was no choir or music, just a spoken prayer that day! So we thought we'd give it a miss and try again next time we're in London! We didn't want to head straight back to Camden, cos we'd **********e anything, so we headed to Soho and went to a street called Denmark st, which I had been told was a street full of guitar shops. What I didn't realize is that it was a street. FULL of guitar shops. We went inside a few, and met a few people in a place called Micaris, which is where a friend of mine used to work when he lived in London. It looked like a pretty cool place to work. There were three people working, and they were all just sitting down playing guitars! Darren was looking for a left-handed mandolin, which was proving hard to find... One of the guys in one of the shops pointed us down the road, and round the corner where we went to a place called Hobgoblin. What an amazing store! It was a music store that specialized in folk instruments. I've never seen so many instruments in one place that I couldn't name! Darren had a play of a right handed mandolin for a while (they were sold out of leftys), and I had a walk around the store. They had signs up everywhere saying 'pick an instrument and have a play'. So cool. I had a play of all the weird looking ones! It was awesome! My favorite was a big massive Chinese instrument that I cant remember the name of... It was about the length of a piano, and it had long strings going right along the top. On the right hand side of the bridge the strings were all tuned to each other, so no matter what you played it sounded amazing. The left hand side of the bridge was used to bend the strings. It was 'only' about £300!! After playing all their harps and lutes and banjos and all the who-knows-what-they're-called instruments, the shop closed up and we headed on the tube to go see St. Paul's Cathedral. We only went to look from the outside, and got a bunch of photos. It was much bigger than I thought it was, with massive pillars and giant oak doors. And of course the famous dome. Very beautiful. Then we headed back on the tube to Camden. We went to a pub near our hostel called BrewDog that we'd been meaning to go to since we first saw it. We recognized the name because our favorite pub back home, Odyssey Tavern, stocks one of BrewDog's beers. We shared a pint there, then went to find some pizza. As we were walking along the main street there was a shop sign ahead called 'White Kitchen'. Lyle pointed it out ('ha, ha, racial!'), but when we got to it, it was actually a pizza place so we went in there. :P We ordered some food, which was delicious. Very authentic Italian style pizza and pasta. One of the chefs there came to chat to us and wanted to know about Australia and what it's like to live there. After finishing our food and chatting to him for a while, we headed off. Lyle went back to the hostel, and Darren and I went for a walk up to Primrose hill, as I'd heard the sunset looks pretty awesome from up there. It was a pretty clear night, but there were clouds around the horizon, so the sunset wasn't very spectacular. :P We decided we'd just go for a walk around the area before heading back to the hostel. So we walked around and had a look at all the houses. They're very pretty but I don't really see the attraction of the pastel colors that they were almost all painted! (But I'm sure mum would've loved the pastel purple house with the royal purple door!!) We took some sneaky looks into the houses that had their windows open, and I think it seemed like a pretty rich area (confirmed by all the expensive cars on the street!). One window had its walls covered top to bottom in all kinds of instruments - flutes, pipes, mandolins, ukeleles, and all sorts of other things. I want to live in THAT house! :P After we navigated our way out of the winding streets of Camden Town we headed back to the hostel and got an early night.
