Saturday morning

Since I have to work during the week there isn't much time left for sightseeing or exploring the city then. However I try make up for it on the weekends. Therefore I happily agreed when one of my coworkers invited me to accompany her to the Borough market one week ago. (Just one proof of the fact that my coworkers are truly very nice and welcoming.) So we travelled to London's larges food market on Saturday morning and I was amazed by the wide range of offered products. All sorts of foods form various countries. What's great is taht you can try everything. The vendors offer sample of theif food and drinks, so when we where read to leave 2 hours later I was stuffed without paying a single pence.

fruits and nuts covered in joghurt and choclate (the only thing I bought)

This weekend I had tow visitors, Kathi and Sophie from Paris. (more about the weekend later on) They are Austrian but live in Paris right now and from there it is only 3 hours by train. On Saturday morning (or rather around lunchtime, cause we got up at 12) we decided to take a trip to Camden market. A famous huge market in the north of London where you can get anything from clothes, bags, pictures to jewellry, things for your home and so on. The atmosphere around Camden is really nice and kind of shows a different aspect of the city. I guess the people who gather there are a mixture of young hip people, artists, tourists, alternatives or just random visitors. Camden is definetly worth a visit. The great thing about the market is not only that you can get all sort of cool stuff but also that there is a food court with food from all over the world and around 6pm when the market is closing down everything is sold for 1 to 2 pounds. Unfortunately we were to hungry to wait that long.
I bought a scarf and a necklace, I was tempted to buy some pictures for my room back in Vienna, but I couldn't decide so I guess I have to come back.

the scarf is new, the smile is the same old, slightly daffy one

My friends bought new shoes and when they asked the vendor of the stand wether they accept credit cards, the vendor replied: "Anything, cash, cards, sexual favors, countries or the ring from lord or the rings... "
Just for the record: they went for the second alternative.
