London: The best city in the world? David Letterman would disagree!

It has been over a week since we got back from London. We enjoyed ourselves immensely with ourselves and our friends. We stayed in Notting Hill and for the first time we went to the Portbello Market...

All the houses in Notting Hill reminded me of DC!

...where I bought a lovely vintage silk Japanese clutch, we then rented bikes and biked through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. I would recommend this to everyone! Even though I had let's just say "issues" with the bike and the direction of traffic...it really was a lovely ride! The weather was perfect and we really peddled far!

We even enjoyed one of my favorite things in the world..Dim Sum! We brought our friends who had never tried it before. The overall consensus was positive so I hope we return.

We wanted to do Westminster Abbey but can you believe it costs £16.50 to get in?! We were quite in shock...probably because in Italy you don't normally have to pay to visit a basilica. So we went to the Tate Modern instead and saw the Munch exhibition.

We went to the Carnaby area a few times and the Imperial War museum, which we both really enjoyed!

We also got a chance to check out Marimekko's London store! All in all we had a great time even though the weather was hit or miss everyday...but what can you expect from London?
