Strawberry Matcha


 

Today was our last full day visiting London! The next time we’re here will be to catch our flight home.

We had a rather chill day going from one snack to another. We were planning on maybe visiting some museums… but the whole town of London is so beautiful, it’s kind of its own museum. 

Cool London buildings

Our first treat was something we had back in May… William Curley’s Hot Chocolate. This is the most delicious hot chocolate in the world and I was so happy to have another taste.

The Mayan Spiced Hot Chocolate - my absolute favourite

We then spent about one hour in Foyles Bookstore, a five story building in central London. It was lots of fun looking through their incredible selection of books… and we only bought a few.

Just a few new books…

While walking around town we stumbled across a bakery that we loved in Stockholm: Fabrique Bakery. Apparently they opened this London location after being appointed as a supplier to the Royal Court of Sweden. And I can see why, their sweet buns are incredible.

Another cool spot we found was a food market located in an old fruit storehouse. Specifically, the main market area is where bananas used to ripen, thanks to the huge glass ceiling creating a warm environment. There is also Cucumber Alley, which is where cucumbers used to be stored.

Cucumber Alley!

Our last treat of the day was some fun matcha. I had strawberry flavour and Liam had mango. Both were great and a perfect refreshing end to our day.

Pastel De Nata

We had an absolutely stunning day today! Although we spent about 3 hours driving from Lagos to Sintra on Portuguese tolled highways, our time in both those cities was incredible. We had a fantastic breakfast spread in our hotel today, and we we spent about 45 minutes tasting Portuguese delicacies, including tomato and pumpkin jams, honey fresh from the comb, and many breads and baked goods. Delicious breakfast We were now fueled to take a walk on the beautiful boardwalk in Lagos. We walked along the Atlantic towards the Ponta da Piedade, a rocky outcrop where a small lighthouse stands. The water was a gorgeous blue, the sandstone cliffs a calm beige, and the weather was on our side gracing us with a nice cool breeze.  Gorgeous cliffside Made it to the end of the boardwalk! This is definitely a place we’ll have to return to…I would love to do a kayak trip along the coastline and explore the beautiful rock formations from below.

BC Ferries Yam Fries

  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...

Fried Chicken

  Today we finally got some chilly weather… which I was unprepared for! However, our last day in Stockholm was still wonderful.  We started the cloudy morning with a ferry ride to another one of Stockholms islands. Our destination was the Vasa Museum.  Our ferry boat (which is a part of public transport here!) The Vasa Museum is one of the most popular museums in Scandinavia as it houses a fully preserved shipwreck from 1628. The Vasa was constructed in 1628 and set sail from Stockholm… unfortunately it only reached about 1km offshore before sinking! The imposing hull of the Vasa Reportedly, the Vasa was top-heavy, so when a huge gust of wind tipped her, water poured into her open gun ports, quickly sinking the ship. The Vasa lay on the bottom of the Baltic Sea for 333 years, where the low salinity of the water helped to preserve her.  Model of the divisions in the hull of the Vasa  Perfectly preserved wooden carvings on the ship Model of the Vasa setting sail T...
