Day 5: London


First, went to the Camden market, which is equal parts trendies, hippies, punks and tourists. Wonderfully rambling, and more permanent than one expects a "market" to be. Pricey, but the Moroccan tajine I had for lunch was fabulous.
Next, the British Museum, which is as remarkable, astounding and whatever else as one could expect. Completely bloody amazing, the stuff they have in there. Alas, it's much too big to see in one go, and we missed a lot of Europe, Asia and the Americas, and all of Africa. Had a Thai dinner, bookended by tasty wheat beers in tiny pubs. Remarkably, London may actually have more pubs than Adelaide. Shocking, I know.
