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!

William Curley’s Mayan Spiced Hot Chocolate

 Day two in London was a blast! We spent the day in central London  walking around Westminster, Mayfair, and Covent Gardens. We started by checking out the London Eye and Big Ben, some classics. It was incredibly packed everywhere we went, but understandably so. This city is such a cool mixture between the old and the new. London truly is the gateway drug to Europe, there everyone speaks English and yet you still hear so many other languages and get the “European vibe”. London Eye Big Ben Obviously we had to go and say hi to the King at Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace And then we remembered the Broad Street Pump and detoured towards Soho district for a visit. This felt like a true fan-girl moment for me, as it would for anyone who’s studied epidemiology. In 1854 John Snow conducted one of the first known epidemiological investigations and determined that a cholera epidemic in London was clustered around this pump, showing it to be the cause of the outbreak.

Airplane food

Hello all :) Spending the next four months away from home I thought I would try to keep a blog, to share experiences with loved ones and to drop my travel thoughts! But we’ll see how well this blog actually keeps up in the grand scheme of things and in the businesses of travel. We started our journey in Victoria, ferried over to Vancouver, and caught our flight out of YVR to London! Packed in just (large) backpacks I feel like a true adventurer; one backpack on the back, one on the front, and a Canadian flag pinned to everything. So what’s the idea for this blog? Well I’m thinking a little travel, a little culture, and of course, a LOT of food!  But perhaps not airplane food… although I usually end up liking it a lot more than I expected to!
