Ginger and White’s Turkish Eggs

 Day one in London was spent wandering around Hampstead Heath, The Regent’s Park, and everywhere in between!

We started our day at 12pm (after catching up on 14 hours of sleep) by walking to Hampstead Heath. This park was so green and so big! I was shocked at the sheer size of the park. It was a beautiful sunny day and tons of people were out to enjoy the weekend.

We came across the Hill Garden and Pergola, a really beautiful structure in Hampstead Heath. With its cool architecture and blooming flowers, it felt like we were on the set of Bridgerton.




By this time we’d gotten quite hungry so we made our way to Ginger & White for lunch. Let me say it was delicious! For drinks I had an iced beetroot oat latte which was nice and refreshing, and very flavourful. Being there on Saturday, we were able to get their  weekend specials - Turkish Eggs and a Shak Sausage. I especially enjoyed the Turkish Eggs, I never would have thought to combine eggs with mint, Greek yogurt, and chilli oil, but somehow it works! 100% would recommend.

Lunch at Ginger & White’s

After lunch we walked over to Abbey Road to get the classic picture of the Beatle’s famous album cover. It was so much more busy there than I expected! I feel bad for anyone who has to take that road often and deal with all the tourists crossing and standing in the middle of the road to take pictures… but of course that’s what we did!

And to end our first day in London we had to get some fish and chips. We went to a local favourite, Oliver’s Fish & Chips. A quite small place, but with a nice area to sit inside and with unlimited tartar sauce! I got the battered cod with chips and it was very yummy :) The batter was quite crispy and light, and inside there was a whole fish. Sadly the chips were extra (not included with the fish), but they were worth it! Nothing can beat a nice big bowl of fresh chips… plus you can’t have fish and chips without the chips!

  Four months, 13 countries, endless love and memories. I cannot believe I’m already writing the last blog of this trip! The time has flown by. This evening we left London for our last flight of the summer, our flight home to Canada. We spent September 2nd similar to how we spent May 2nd - walking around Hampstead Heath and stopping for feast at Ginger and White Café. Goodbye feast at Ginger and White It felt so surreal to be back in London exactly four months after we got here! The seasons had changed, leaves were falling, but the city felt somewhat familiar, comfortable almost.  Fall leaves appearing in Hampstead Heath As we took the tube to the airport I felt nostalgic for our travels already - it’s been such a unique experience.  Waiting for the tube in the new Elizabeth Line station I won’t lie, I teared up a little bit waving goodbye to London from above. Last views of London At least we got some yummy airplane food to soothe our souls… and I’m not even jo...

Śledzie po kartusku

 We arrived back in Sopot, Poland last week! Our time here has been spent doing some work, enjoying time with family, and getting lots of good snacks. So, I suppose this post is essentially an ode to Polish treats.  A very common food in Poland are “śledzie” or in English “herring”. Herring can be served in so many ways, but at Bar Przystań in Sopot they serve a fantastic śledz po kartusku. This is a herring marinated in oil and vinegar with tomatoes, peppers, and lots of onions. Essentially, the fish gets so soft it falls apart and is absolutely delicious! Śledzie po kartusku One evening, we got a very fancy fruit drink! Non-alcoholic cranberry juice with soda and topped with tons of fruit and a beautiful flower.  Fancy and fun drinks! On Saturday morning, my mom and I went to Yoga on the Pier. This free event is put on by a Polish fitness YouTuber who leads a huge crowd through many exercises! I’d call it yoga-Pilates-dance-aerobic fusion. Yoga on the Pier in Sopot ——— ...

Fish and Chips at Journeys End

I’m more and more in love with Devon and the South Coast of England. Yesterday morning we took a nice long walk to Bantham beach. We meandered through the countryside, enjoying the beautiful rolling hills untill we hit the seaside.  Pedestrian footpath to Bantham Beach Walking through the English countryside Looking out at the tidal river Avon I was blown away by the beach, I truly didn’t expect scenery like this in England. The tide was out, and the sandy beach seemed to go on for miles! We could see all the boats resting on the sand. Boats resting on the sand Low tide at Bantham Beach Plenty of people were surfing and playing in the water… this is a place with true West Coast vibes.  To quench our thirst after the walk, we went to a little Pub called the Sloop for a pint of cider. I had an apple-blackcurrant flavour which just hit the spot.  Refreshing ciders ————— This afternoon, we had lunch at what Liam’s family claim is the “best pub in England”. The Journeys End In...
