London as a (pseudo) local



Arriving in London was amazing. We quickly navigated our way through the complex – yet incredibly simple – maze that is the Underground, arriving at Archway to meet Monique’s South African friend Sam and her husband Shaun. 

We stayed with them for three nights and loved spending some quality time with them after four years. We almost felt like locals as we took a strolled through Camden Market, had a big night out in the East End and went to the Thames Festival, which featured a cultural parade and fireworks.

The good times continued to roll as the next night we caught up with Monique’s boss Mandy and her husband. We had a couple of drinks at a lovely pub in Kensington and then they treated us to a delicious curry in Earls Court. They did well to avoid talking about too much about work while on holidays :)
