London : Take 2
The funds were low, and we were flying out within a week, so we had to sell our beloved Snowflake. While we waited for a prospective buyer we made sure we made the most of our opportunities. The sunshine begged us to embrace the open sanctuaries areas nestled within metropolitan London.
Adventuring around we discovered some hidden gems, including delicious meals at organic vegetarian cafes and many visits to Tara's favourite store in Europe 'Wholefoods' for endless yummy goodness;
One day we ventured to the bastion of underground English culture: the Famous Camden Markets. This is where the punk movement began and icons like Amy Winehouse grew up, flaunting her individual style and embracing unique expression.
After a long and painful wait to sell Snowflake we had to let her go. We drowned our sorrows at losing a friend by enjoying more than a few wines with two of the best people in the world, Simon and Kate. Tim drank so hard he had to secure himself in bed at night with a helmet, just in case someone tried to do any mischief while he slept.
It was sad to see the end of an adventure but excited to have a new chapter ahead with the decision to move back to Australia and head to Taras home in the SouthWest of Western Australia. But for our last hurrah, we flew direct to our second home to say our final goodbyes, back to Bali we go :)
The final leg of our European adventure was upon us. After leaving South-West England behind, we headed back to one of the greatest capital cities in the world; London. Having been here mid-trip, we knew what to expect this time. However, last time we had 'traditional' cloudy skies and turbulent rain. This trip was mostly blue skies and green parks at the end of an English Summer.
