Pimlico Fish & Chips

Here’s a little recap of our last day and a half in London!

Yesterday evening we went to see Romeo and Juliet in the Globe Theatre, as it was meant to be seen! We got some cheap standing seats, which got a little tiring but we had a nice wall to lean on.

An evening at the Globe

The play itself was so good! Neither of us knew it was an updated adaptation which was Western themed.. so we had actors in cowboy hats with pistols speaking in Shakespearean dialect. This actually worked quite well and made for a funny, yet still tragic play.

The next morning we walked through Chelsea to the Natural History Museum.

On the way to the museum we passed by 23 Egerton Terrace, which was one of the London filming locations for the 1998 version of The Parent Trap. This is my all time favourite movie so we had to stop and take a picture!

The Natural History Museum did not disappoint! They had lots of interesting exhibits, from an earthquake simulator to dinosaur skeletons, there was so much to see.

Afterwards we went to Pimlico Traditional Fish & Chips for an early dinner. This small, family run diner had huge portions at a very reasonable price! The man serving us was very nice and gave us some fresh fish straight out of the fryer. To eat, we walked over to a little green space to enjoy our chippy outside in the fresh air.

One more fun thing we saw was the Security Intelligence Service (MI6) building! This building, was of course, featured in many James Bond films.

Tonight’s our last night in London (for now), tomorrow we fly to a new adventure!

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...

Kimchi and Cheese Toastie

We’re back in the town of Totnes for a few night before we head to London. So far, we’ve spent our time meandering through town, treating ourselves to little sweets and baked goods. Walking over the River Dart Today there was a lovely food festival on, right along the river side. We had a wonderful time checking out all the little food stalls full of homemade pickles, preserves, fermented drinks, fresh veggies, and practically anything else you can think of! Food festival on the riverside Eat Festival… my favourite type of festival I was very drawn in by one stand which was selling kimchi and cheese toasties. This was essentially a grilled cheese sandwich with kimchi inside! The spice of the kimchi was perfectly balance by the mild cheese. The perfect kimchi toastie This afternoon, we also took at little walk to explore the town of Totnes a bit more. Looking down the Main Street The town itself is quite old, with roots in the Roman times, but was mainly expanded in th...

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 ——— ...
