London was a phenomenal leg to the trip. On day 2 we boys were left to our own devices so we promptly grabbed our matching North Face jackets, purchased our double decker tourist bus tickets and put a giant stamp saying tourist across our foreheads.
But honest to god if you want to come to London and see all the sites this a great way to do it. From Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben/Parliament, Tower Bridge, etc. we left no tourist trap unturned!
The last day in London brought us a treat straight from Newfoundland when Mindy joined us for the day. We wandered around Camden and it's remarkable Market, got free ice cream at Ben and Jerry's and then went up to Primrose Hill for the best view of the city before meeting up with Cam and Richie for dinner. It was a great day that we capped off with a super fun night at a bunch of bars in Soho before flying off to Amsterdam in the morning.
P.s. French keyboards have the Q where the A is supposed to be - I am positive that this is just to infuriate English users when they visit

After exhausting ourselves and taking no less than 50 pictures of Big Ben we met up with Chad, Cam and Emily on Brick Lane for a traditional English meal of some of the best damn curry I have ever tasted. More than the actual eating, the joy of a meal on Brick Lane is the experience of choosing your restaurant. With no exaggeration there`s probably 50 Indian Restaurants and each is guarenteed to have two things: a guy out front hawking his restaurant with the "best deal in town" and a sign indicating their chef was voted the best on Brick Lane within the last 2 years.
The brilliance of their best deal proposition is that everyone has the exact same deal: 2 courses for 10 pounds and two pints. Their aggressiveness depends on the company your keep but for Cam, Josh, Mitch and I walking down the street (4 relatively big lads who likely have a pechant for curry and booze) you would have thought we were made of gold. Ultimately we chose Aladin (a favourite of Mr. Cameron`s) and we were not disappointed.
