This past weekend, Hitch and I ventured off to London for a weekend away. We stayed with two lovely friends, and ate all of the food that we physically could. I’ve come to realize that there are many things I enjoy about visiting new places, but my favourite part of traveling is eating . And drinking a little wine too :) Here are a few snaps from the weekend.

| view across the river |

| our first stop – borough market . amazing meat pie with mash and gravy. |

| which was followed up with spicy stew and sangria. |

| ted’s veg! had to take a picture because that’s my dad’s name. |

| the next day we visited maltby street market . it was my favourite part of the whole trip. |

| priority one – (awesome) coffee. |

| random market pic. |

| smoked salmon. |

| tiny tacos. |

| oyster bar. |

| maple bacon brownie. |

| all that food was followed up with some craft beer. |

| we went to a few different breweries, but my favourite was Brew by Numbers . |

| so many tunnels. |

| that evening, after some amazing curry, we went to the East London Liquor Company – a really awesome distillery and bar, with some serious cocktails. |

| you can actually see the distillery behind the bar. really cool spot. |

| the “barely legal”. a cocktail full of passion-fruit-goodness. |

On our third day, we toured around to see some of London’s major attractions… after all, we had to do more than just eat :)

| the london eye. |

| big ben. |

| westminster abbey. |

| an awesome goose. |

| china town at night. |

| and finally, a beautiful view on the train ride back home. |

We such a wonderful weekend – a HUGE thank you to our friends Norah and Rob for hosting us, and showing us all the best places in London. xo

This weekend, we’re off to Milan, Florence, and Geneva with friends from Canada! Updates to come…
