Ooops! Excuse me?! I Blogged again

So I know I already entered a blog today. I honestly, truthfully didn't expect today to get busy... You know the whole "winding down" last two days for being here in London kind of thing.... getting things organized to pack... possibly even start packing kind of day. Boy I was 


WRONG!!!
So after "brunch" with the Prof's I went back to the Camden Town exit from the Tube to do some "shopping" (I don't know why.... I already fear that I'll have too much stuff to take with me - HOME), for family, my boyfriend, and me by walking through the market. Really walking through it and not just the "topical kind of walk through" like I did when I got here last month. Got a really good deal on a dress for myself and a scarf.... by showing the sales lady how to "tie" the scarf so that it's like a vest, or a pool cover up. She gave me a good deal on both!!! And it is a classic matching look together!!! I'm pretty stoked.

I get back to the Stay Club to find out that everyone is going on some kind of boat tour thing, and it only costs like £8.19, but they were leaving like as soon as I found out they were going!!! I tried to get online and get my ticket, but it kept saying that my information wasn't valid and wouldn't allow me to purchase my ticket. We were walking out the door to get to the docks by the Tower of London by 3. Me.... I still hadn't purchased my ticket. Praying I could get it at the docks I left with them. Get there.... they all went on with out me! I freaked out!!! I told the lady in the ticket booth that wasn't for the tour they went on, that I was going to be left by my group. I had gotten in line to purchase the ticket TWICE and gotten out both times to talk to the other lady. Then I just totally flipped.... I said, "Oh great.... they are leaving with out me and I've gotten out of line twice... I'm never going to get my ticket and catch up with them!!" The lady stopped me in my outwardly spoken verbal thought and said, "No, come with me!" She lead me down the path to the docks where you board the ship, and told the other workers that I had gotten separated from my "tour" group, and was looking for them. They allowed me to get on the ship and look for them. I looked all over the first level (the food level) and then went up to the deck level (where they had backed bench seating)... Nope not on either levels. Went back down and had noticed that WE WERE MOVING AWAY FROM THE DOCK!!!! I look up and who do I see? My group!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! I talk to the worker... "That's my group right there!!! Can I just step off really quick and meet back up with them?" The worker, "Miss. we're not even allowed to do that. Where are they going? Could you possibly meet up with them when we get to the Westminster docks?" So I yell back to them, "Where are you all getting off at?!!! Westminster?!!!!" They said yes, so I said I'd meet them there!

This tour was AWESOME..... though I could barely hear the guide talk about all the sights. I literally wanted to kick myself for not having my Nikon with me!!! But my phone did a good job.... I had it down to 13% of battery life!!! I didn't sit down, but rather went from side to side of the ship taking pictures!!!

Um... Did you notice anything..... I was let on the boat that was taking off..... and I didn't do something to get on the boat that the group had..... :p
























































My little iPhone doesn't take that bad of photo's!!! I am still kicking myself for not grabbing my Nikon.....

Now time for Selfies!!!! LoL Enjoy!!!











We all went to Yosushi for dinner.... it was like a buffet thing... but you pay by the plate. Monday's are "Special Deal" nights; £2.50 a plate (I guess it's £5 a plate any other night?). I got a California Crab Roll.... it was wrapped in sea weed. IT WAS YUMMY!!!! I also tried some other stuff.... and it was good too!! However.... not a lot of food on the plates (you can see in the next picture after my crab thing) for the cost of the plate. I guess that's where they make their £££££s.
