London 2016/17 - Part 3

New Year's Day

Sunday - January 1st 2017

The first day of 2017 ways lying ahead of us and after a hearty breakfast we took the train into the city. For today we had planned to walk along the Regent's Canal towards the Camden Lock Market. We started at Paddington Station and from there we just followed the canal to Camden. It was a beautiful route and the whole walk lasted for a little over an hour. Around noon we arrived at the Camden Lock Markets, where we got lunch from one of the many food vendors. We ordered Mexican food, which was so good, and then we just strolled around the many little shops. Unfortunately it started to rain and so we ended up at The Cuban Bar. We love that bar and during each visit to Camden we went there. A couple of drinks later the rain didn't stop and so we decided to return to the hotel, but not before we got one of those delicious vegan milk shakes from Cookies & Scream. Back in Wandsworth we stopped at The Alma pub, where we spent the rest of the evening until it was time for the first episode of series four of Sherlock. For dinner we got some sandwiches from Pret-A-Manger and after the disappointing new episode of Sherlock we went to bed.

After breakfast we packed our belongings and were on our way to London Bridge Station. From there we took the train back to Gatwick Airport. Since we still had some time to kill, we hit the pub and waited until our easyjet flight departed. Back in Munich it snowed a lot and so the drive back home was very unpleasent.
