WEEK 29: Keepin Busseee

Guys I think I've finally figured out the equally best and worst thing about London. Want in on the secret? Here it is... there's simply too much to do, too little time and for most of us too little funds to be able to do it all. I know shocking right?!

I've spent the last two weekends craving a quiet and lazy weekend, where I can catch up on washing, sleep in and maybe cook some nice food for myself. What I've come to learn over the past two weeks is unless you shut yourself off from all human contact people are inevitably going to invite you to some fun new London function that you simply can't say no to.

Possibly one of the most unusual events I've ever attended - I was lucky enough to be invited to a pop up 'Bubble Bath Bar'. What is that I hear you say? Well it is exactly what it sounds like, a bar that you attend to have a bath. The event being held in conjunction with national champagne/cocktail week we were welcomed into a romantically lit space with approximately 12 luxurious tubs evenly spaced throughout the room. We were asked to change into swimmers and given a plush robe to wait around in whilst we enjoyed a glass of champagne. Once our tub was ready we jumped into the steaming hot bath. Champagne glasses consistently being topped up by one of the friendly staff.

Thats Nikki's oh my god, it's actual Champagne not Prosecco face.

Complete with rubber ducky.

I've been inundated with people asking me how they can attend this event, sadly they were only doing it for two nights, so I feel very lucky that we got to go. Something for the memory bank thats for sure!

Friday night it was all about the pies, a pub just up the road from my new flat claims to serve award winning pies. Being Australian I had to check it out. They were pretty good, but nothing like the ones I've had at home. 

Pie 1, Pie 2

Despite being a dreary London day, on Saturday I went for a walk from Waterloo to London Bridge with Brooke and her friend. Thats when I met my new friend Jasper...

Couldn't even sit still for a photo - TOO EXCITED!!

My love for this furry guy was instant. He reminded me so much of my best bud Benny, it was a pleasure to spend even a brief moment with this friendly little guy. Of course it only made me miss Benny even more than usual (if thats even possible).

After a massive night crawling around the pubs of Camden I was pretty happy to have a cruisy Sunday, London even turned on the charm with some sunshine. Before I knew it the weekend was gone.

Let's bring on the next one! xo
