ALICE SAYS SHE HAS PLANS FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, I'M SPOILED FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IS NEXT!!!

SO I WOKE UP EARLY AND HEADED OUT TO MEET HER AND WE STARTED WITH BREAKFAST IN HERNE HILL AREA.

GOTTA LOVE THEM EGGS BENEDICTS!!!

AND THEN WE JUMPED ON A DOUBLE DECKER BUS (FIRST TIMER FOR ME), AND HEADED TO AN OPEN MARKET PLACE LOCATED ON PORTOBELLO ROAD, A PLACE THAT THE FILM, NOTTING HILL WAS TAKEN.

AS SOON AS WE ARRIVED, IT WAS INDEED A VERY BEAUTIFUL DAY TO ENJOY THE OPEN MARKET.  IT WAS VERY NICE TO SEE ALL KINDS OF THINGS FOR SALE AND SAMPLE FOODS HERE AND THERE. 

ANYONE SEEN THE FILM, PADDINGTON???

ALICE'S ANTIQUE STORE!!!

OMG...  I LOVE OYSTERS!!!

AFTER WE SHOPPED FOR SOME SOUVENIRS FOR ME TO TAKE BACK, WE THEN HEADED OVER TO THE BRITISH MUSEUM!!!
