Exhausted!

Day: 5

It is only Day 5 and already I am exhausted!!! I think it's a combination of the jetlag, excitement of bring here, the build up of stress from the previous weeks getting here and spending two days doing some pretty serious exercise while being considerably out of shape.

As much as I didn't want to waste away the opportunity and my time here, this morning I slept in!!!

It was really lovely though because it was a lovely chance for me and Lola (that's Lauren to all my family members who are wondering) to catch up. We sat and chatted and just spent some time together which was so good because I have missed her so much!!

In the afternoon we headed to the Borough Markets which are food markets in near Tower Bridge that are only there a few days a week.

Oh the food!!! It was son incredible!!! It was all locally grown (well as local as you can for London!) and made and wow delicious. The olive oils and the jams and the cheeses! Mwah! Of course it being London it was ridiculously expensive but you know what...samples are free!! and we had plenty! :)

After that we attempted to see the famous Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum! but by the time we got there it was to close in 1 1/2 hours and neither of us could justify the cost so we headed home to get ready for a night on the town!!


Lola had heard of this great place called Floriditas. It has Latin American-inspired food, legendary cocktails and a wide variety of live music and entertainment, from authentic Cuban bands to glitzy cabaret nights. The food was amazing and the live music was incredible! We sure don't have places like this in Brisbane!! We enjoyed their early bird special (including a Mojito) and then salsa'd the night away!
