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.

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...

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 ——— ...
