After sleeping in a bit, I got ready for the day and headed by myself to Knotting Hill where the flea markets are held each Saturday on Portobello Road. Mom was not too happy at my decision but I really wanted to make it down there and felt comfortable and safe enough here to venture on my own. I had a delightful time, too! I was told by some friends that the markets are overwhelming and stretch endlessly down the road, and they weren’t kidding! What they failed to mention was the copious amounts of useless crap that some of the street vendors sell as antiques. All the same, it was an enjoyable experience to be there with all of the other hundreds of people in that atmosphere.
After Knotting Hill, I met up with my friend Whitney and we made a pilgrimage to what is called the official Beatles Gift shop. It was fun, but I loved the store across the street more—it featured ALL of the great rock bands from England.
Our last stop of the day was the Apollo Victoria theatre to pick up Wicked tickets. I was able to get FANTASTIC seats for me and my two friends that are coming on Monday to spend the day with me in London at a great price. I got home and my friend Laura and I went back to get her a ticket.
That evening, Laura came and chilled with Whitney and me in our apartment because all of our roommates were gone on weekend excursions. We had a great time chatting with each other and all in all, enjoyed having a laid back evening together. I had a very nice day!
