Today's schedule was originally planned to start at a lunch at Fifteen, the Jamie Oliver restaurant. But I suddenly realized the previous night that it would be the last chance during this trip to see the actual changing the guard in front of Buckingham.
So CarO agreed to go with me, but I didn't want to make Steve to go again, so we agreed to meet up at Fifteen afterwards. Although it already passed 11.30. we got there just in time and got a good spot soon enough. The weather was also beautiful. The parade was so much better this time. I even took a picture with an officer.
When we were setting for Fifteen, there was something wrong with the district line and the train was suspended indefinitely. Luckily, we could still take the Jubilee line and transfer to the Northern line which took us to Old Street Station very fast. But poor Steve wasn't so lucky though. He got stuck in the tube for quite a longtime because of the breakdown of the district line apparently.
CarO and I ordered Carbonara and Gnocchi, and they were simply belicimo! I also tried a house special soft drink called "Joe's Authentic Cream Soda" which contains actual vanilla seeds. It was delicious and refreshing. We had some bread with olive oil as well.
We finally met up with Steve at Camden Town. We took a long walk around and saw some lovely shops with special stuffs. But the most exciting to me was the discovery of the 2 disk edition of "Pulp Fiction" and made the whole trip there worth while. CarO also found an UK flag for her friend.
After leaving Camden, we walked to Regent's Park where just very close by. But we didn't have time to do the boat rides on the pond like the characters did in the last scene in "Happy-Go-Lucky." After showing CarO Sherlock Holmes's residence(yes, I didn't realize they were only one street away the last time). It was already 6 when we reached to Baker Street Station, so we set our way to Romford for the dinner with Claire, Mike and Gemma.
The place was the World Inn. We got there just on time luckily. The guys were already inside. We all ordered their special Indian offer. I, for sure, got vindaloo again. It was just also nice and spicy. After a few rounds, we were on our quest to look for another pub, and ended up in Brannigans, where they said they always went to when they were young.
