London, Part II

Guess what, we arrived in time for Carnival! Well, at least their version of it, called the Notting Hill Street Festival. Our hostel ended up being smack down in the middle of the action. It was crazy with people, parties, music, and food. Streets were blocked off and traffic diverted. Just another crazy street parade. We ended up staying the whole weekend for it.


At the parade

It was also a Caribean Heritage Festival

Most participants were involved in a chocolate fight!

Popeye & Olive oil - how appropriate!

The Chocolate king!

A very cool float

We are the world

Look at all these people!

Just a momento - so sad

I totally want this pink car!!!!
The hostel was great. It was the least expensive of all our places, included breakfast, was not miles away from public transport, had a really great laundry machine, and had Sky net TV. I watched a bunch of movies, it was great. Very relaxing.

Monday we were off, Plymouth & sailing bound!
