We spent the first day wandering around Regents Park, where I think we bumped into Ainsley Harriott, (or at least his look-a-like) in one of the little cafes they have there. We then went back to her flat to have some dinner and have a nice girly evening in watching Easy A and eating some smarties cookies which are amazing! NOM NOM!
For our second day together, Me, Katherine and her boyfriend decided that we would head to London Dungeons for the day. We thought we would be okay until we got there. We would have had queue up for at least 2 hours and it must have been about 27 degrees outside, so we gave that a miss. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of going to the London Dungeons to book in advance, unless you are willing to wait for 2 or more hours in a queue, and it will be cheaper to book in advance. The website does state that even though you have bought tickets online, you may still have to wait about 45 minutes, which isn't as bad as waiting 2 hours but it is still a long time when you have already got the tickets.
As we pondered on what to do next, Katherine saw a sign with a Storm Trooper on it. Of course, anything with a Storm Trooper is brilliant, so we followed the sign and ended up at the London Film Museum. There were some cool things in there like the suit from Superman Returns and the meteor which featured in the same film. We also came across a wide range of photo opportunities including me and Katherine as Batman's babes, and a Storm Trooper with his gun out (oi oi).

As you can see, we are very mature adults! So mature that on our way home from the museum, we found a carousel and had to get on it right away! Apparently while Katherine's boyfriend was taking photos, a posh family came up behind him and said, "Some of these people are far to old to be on here." Just because you are jealous! My horse was named Lydia, as most horses have posh, upperclass names.
Once the ride ended we headed towards the station by going across a bridge. Now on this bridge we came across a man that could make picture frames out of wire. I know this doesn't sound very exciting but he could manipulate the wire into your name, or whatever else you wanted written. I bought a couple and will take a picture of them once I have put my own pictures in them. As we walked further down, a man asked if he could borrow my finger. Of course, like an idiot, I obliged as he hooked a piece of string to my extended finger and started to make a bracelet. He made it so quickly I was rather impressed, but unsuprisingly he wanted money for it, even though I hadn't asked for it, and he had already attached it too my wrist. So readers, don't fall for it; It's almost as bad as 'pull my finger'. We were then approached by another man who had a very large snake, (oit! It was an actual snake!). I started to stroke his snake and then he started showing pictures of other people stroking his snake. I finally had the strength to say no as he wanted money to have our picture taken with his snake, and we walked off before anymore buskers could come and take our money.
Finally, we ended the night with a nice take-away as we were too tired to do anything else as travelling around London is so exhausting! We ended up watching The Lion King for the millionth time and had a lovely sleep before heading home the next day.
Me and Katherine seem to encounter strange things when we are together. It's only been a week and I miss her already! I loved our little London adventure! xx
