London!

We made it to London!  First night involved a lot of jet lag and a couple of pubs.  Got a good solid night of sleep, woke up early and went to the first market on our list!

Markets are strange here - we arrived around 7:30 and only a handful of vendors were there and no one started setting up til 8 am.  We were there til 10:30 and people were still just starting set up!

It was a nifty market, lots of small antiques, clothes, and curiosities.  We picked up a nice deco polo lift arm lighter, a hefty German straight razor, some 1800s skeleton keys, and a nifty hubodometer.  

We met a lovely trader who focuses primarily on taxidermy and oddities.  He had a great giant hugs BP gasoline sign in his van which was a very good price but way too big for us to get home.

Afterwards we walked to borough market and ate all the cheese samples we could followed by the worlds best grilled halloumi sandwich.  Its a good thing we walk so much when we are here, otherwise we would gain a good 20 lbs because the food is soooo good here.

We have another market lined up for tomorrow morning then we are taking a trip with the family to an antique centric town in the countryside.  Hope to find some more cool stuff!
