London 4th day - Thursday - Sherlock Holms Museum/ Camden Town/ Photo Sticker Club - Purikua/ Tower Bridge/ London Eye

Hello everbody ^^

Thusday was the last complete day in London. And we had a lot of plans for the day.
We started at Sherlock Holmes Museum. 

my outfit
  It's located at world's famous adress 221B Baker Street which is the fictional adress of Sherlock Holmes' flat.

Michi at station Baker Street

I have to admit, that I'm not interested in Sherlock Holmes at all.... I've never read a book nor seen a Sherlock Holmes movie or series....
But Michi and Kirshu and her mom were interested. So why not ^^°

haha~ busy Michi in the Sherlock Holmes shop
We had to wait a long time in row... finally we could enter!!!
The interiour was really nice. Completely furnished and arranged like a middle-class house from the late 19th century.

A true fan of Sherlock Holmes might notice every little detail in the house and might love the re-enactment of some of his cases... but for me it was just a nice historicaly furnished house ^^°

The next quarter we wanted to discover was Camden Town. I love it soooo much!! Best area for cheap and/or freaky, special and extraordinary shopping tours!


There are different located parts of shopping adventure in Camden. The main street, Camden Marked, Camden Lock, The Horse Tunnel Marked and a lot more marked-alike streets.

the main street with crazy houses

At Camden Lock there is a river and a very small harbour and again something like a marked place! There are almost fahion stalls! Differemt styles and different prices. So many lovely things!

the lion statue at Camden Lock- Michi, Kirschu and me^^
I was just overwhelmed by the immense mass of garments... seems like Kischu was, too. ~ haha
It stared raining and so we searched for a restaurant.

We chose this fish and chips restaurant in the style of the 50's.
the children's menu was dedinitely enough for us ^^
Horse Tunnel market
Everywhere there were giant horse statues. This part of Camden Town is more for antiquities and vintge clothing. We had not enough time for all the different shopping parts.

many many shops in many many alleys...

Even a large Cyber store!
We continued shopping and I bought some items.

"Boy" cap from a tourist shop, leather/lace/zipper leggings from a crazy shop called "punkyfish" and a warm animal print, plush coat from a stall at Camden Lock.

me wearing the coat^^
 We noticed that in London cupcakes are so hip and trendy. You get them everywhere! So we had a short break at a cupcake shop.

my mini marshmellow cupcake <3

Afterwards we went to Chinatown again to take Purikura^^
We were already well known at  London Photo Sticker Club ~ haha ~ This time we took the real purikura mashine again!

I prepared with circle lenses and took off my pullover^^ Here you can see the Liz Lisa salopette better!!!
Kirschu and me at decorating <3


Here are the results:







































































There are Purikura and photo stickers everywhere! I Really liked this one with the two manbas! <3


Finally we said bye bye to the Photo Sticker Club and went to another tourist spot: The Tower and the Tower Bridge. I don't want to bore you ... so just one photo of the Tower Bridge^^°

The brigde looks super unique.... but it's.... well..... a brigde... nothing to talk about^^° So we hurryed up and went to "London Eye". It's a giant ferris wheel and you get a view over London!

The sky changed drasticly between light and dark and cloudy. Looks like world's end...

looks frightening...^^°
Big Ben and Houses of Parliament with Michis sparkle function <3

What a day. We did so many different things.... I was suuuper exhausted.
Back in our hotel Michi and I had to pack our suitcases for the next day's departure in the early evening!

bye bye 
have a nice weekend <3
