London
After a good sleep-in, Michelle and Darren treated us with a good old fashioned English cooked breakfast: fried sausages, bacon, eggs & tomato... no mushy peas, but apparently they're not cool anymore.
A visit to the Croydon shops to get one of our photos printed on canvas stretched out to include a look at Darrens favorite menswear store, which has Craig buying a pile of business shirts (they actually fit shirts for you - awesome!). A long browse through a favourite store of Michelle's... and finally a visit to a milkshake store - yes, all they do is milkshakes! A wall full of shake ingredients like chocolate bars (every one you can think of), biscuits, lollies, and stranger things like muffins, custard and dried fruit... And you simply say what you want in your shake - sweet!
The afternoon had us off to visit Judy and Nelson (cousin of Lyn) in Southfield... A long-ish trip on a tram that acted like a train at times - hooning along the track at what must have been it's top speed (going by the howling of the wheels on the track)
Fantastic afternoon catching up with Judy whom Lyn hadn't seen in many years!! and got to meet her beautiful two children!
Arriving back at Michelle's we were spoilt to a dinner out at an London Indian restaurant... the four of us on a 'double date' ... very cute and a first for us (double dating)... then it was back home to pack up for our flight back to Italy the next day.
