Londontrip #9

This Saturday I escaped the rain at home. I went to London to visit another EF student and the weather there was just brilliant!
So this day I bought some winter-shoes. We went to Camden market to find one good shoe shop my friend already knew. And it didn't take so much time! We also went to a Victorinox shop and on the way there it began to snow! In the middle of the street... It didn't take much time to see that the snow was actually soap or something :P But we had fun with it anyways...

Ah and that's my rabbit with a bowtie by the way... Just don't even ask...

Bowties ARE cool!

And rabbits with bowties are just magnificent!

Lapping a women in the pool...

The true English horrendous weather has arrived. I was woken this morning by the sound of the heavy rain lashing against my window. Was this the new apocalypse and should we start to build our Ark soon?

Lunchtime I ventured with my towel and shorts to the swimming pool. It's a small, modest little pool frequented by the more mature members of society, especially at lunchtime when I am there.
There was a competitive element in the air amongst other users. I pushed off the side only to realise I was in some type of unknown race with the 80 year old in the lane next to me. As I swam steadily to the other side I noticed out the corner of my eye the woman in the flowery swimming-hat was gaining pace. What started of as a gentle swim became an olympic competition like Michael Phelps. I lapped her at least three times in the space of ten minutes. Her once smiling face turned into a grimace of shear effort and exhaustion to try and beat me.

Who would have thought Friday lunchtime would be so exiting?
