You need a break every once in a while, even when you are on a holiday. My favourite way to recuperate is to find a nice park, an even patch of green, a small sandwich, and a bottle of chocolate milk.I did just that for the majority of this afternoon in a park near the hostel. I managed to catch up on King David in 2 Samuel and researched a little about Paris and the next few stops with my Lonely Planet guide.
Beside the park was Brunswick Mall. There was an international food fair, serving everything from French pastries and sweets, Spanish seafood rice, Japanese gyoza, American hotdogs, English caramel swirls, and lots more. I chatted briefly with a Hong Konger selling Malay food (how strange) and he said this fair is on every Saturday. I am glad we managed to catch it.
It was time to leave London, via Eurostar to Paris. Having learnt our lesson when we missed the Megabus to Coventry, we arrived at Saint Pancras station way ahead of time. I am looking forward to meeting Norie!!
- Location: London Britain
- Cost: £2.80 chicken, bacon and cheese sandwich, 99p chocolate milk from Waitrose
- Highlight: Reading in the park at 20 degrees celcius, the occasional breeze can be a little chilly, but you quickly get warm up by the sun

ReplyDeleteI know!! There are definitely more of these relaxing afternoons to come. :) Jerrain and I are planning to go cycling in the countryside. That would be amazing.
