My time in London - Shepherds Bush

I arrived in London on Thursday morning of the 26th of August, and made my way to Shepherds Bush. Found my way there found a pub and settled into a some breakfast and a few pints, after about 5, the jet lag really started kicking in... I got to my accommodation at about 2:30pm and passed out cold, getting up at 6am the next day.

Friday was spent checking out Shepherds Bush, while i waited for my friend Alex to finish work...

went to the West field shopping center there - apparently the biggest one in Europe..was impressively big...
the day was spent exploring and drinking pints :) woot

I met Alex as she got off the bus from work, near my accommodation (and where i was drinking pints and using free wifi - at the Defectors Weld) and then went to her place, where i was staying with her BF Matt and roomie Oliver... who are all awesome peeps...

Had an amazing time, soo many people, it covered about an area of 20 blocks...almost couldn't walk the whole area in one day...great food, had some Jerk Chicken (mmm), the area was full of rasta's, there where trucks playing loud Rasta music moving down the streets through all the people, dancers between the trucks, you could drink beer on the finished the day with a spliff and balloons in a park...'balloons' :)
Great day :)
