London, baby!: Day 3

On the third day, we woke up bright and early! Or maybe we didn't, I don't really remember. But either way, we woke up...

The third day was sort of our free day, the only thing on our itinerary for that day was to catch a musical. So after looking through the many many musicals that were showing in London, Ama and I decided on Wicked. My other option was the Phantom of the Opera, and Ama's was the Lion King. But Wicked was really wickedly good! So we headed down to the Apollo Victoria Theatre to get our tickets, and they were £29.50 for students. Our show was at 7:30pm so we had a lot of time to do nothing. Walk around, I meant walk around.

We headed to the Camden Market, which really felt like Bangkok for some reason.

And there we met this really friendly Italian chef, who insisted on giving us this free pizza. Think he mentioned something about his grandma's recipes and how all his ingredients are from Italy etc. His food really wasn't so good, sorry grandma. He also insisted that we take a picture together and post it to facebook, oh and of course add him on facebook so he can see the photo. Ah, long story short, I don't even remember his name anymore. But thanks for the pizza! 

Ama and I also randomly walked into some cathedral and went up some tower, okay this isn't too helpful. It wasn't any magnificent tower, in fact I think it was only 5 or 7 storeys high. But we saw someone painting the landscape of the little bit of London you can see up there. 

Afterwards, we went shopping for our picnic!! Oh and there I had my first taste of sparkling water, it was so disgusting, but more on that when we're on Germany. 

This guy dated a Singaporean. And this useless information I remember wtf. 

We went to this beau-ti-ful park just across the Buckingham Palace, so here's the little bit of Buckingham Palace we caught. 

Macarons and brownies were more important to us. 

I think it was the Green Park, or St. James Park, but whatever it is, it's an amazing park. (I don't know why I thought of the amazing spider-man Peter Parker when I typed that, but sorry i digress.) 

And here's me doing a pretentious lie-on-the-grasspatch photo, but I really did enjoy lying on the grass patch. There's something about such beautiful parks, and the way it makes you feel. Looking at the kids running around and families having picnic (with more food than just macarons and brownies), it just feels like I really shouldn't be worrying about anything. 

Finally it's time for Wicked!!

It was really really good, I really loved it. It was actually my first musical, and now imma try to watch more musicals/ plays in Singapore! 

The show ended at about 10pm I think and we headed back to our hostel after that. Here's the thing, Ama and I keep thinking that Elephant and Castle (somewhere in London) is really close to our hostel just because we may have seen it when we were walking around on the first day. So everytime when we see that some bus goes there, we'll take it and then walk back to our hostel. But it's really not so near. Every night we'll be freezing and it just makes everything seems even further. That said, we still do that every night haha. 

Alright, day 4 we'll be heading to HOGWARTS!
