Our hostel right at the end...
While Lester met up with his friend, the rest of us made a trip to Portobello market, which is really near to our hostel. I like this neighbourhood, serene and peaceful, far from the maddening crowds in London. A fitting last stop before term starts =)
Then Lydia and Alwyn left to peek at Harrods before going up the London eye with Lester.

Xianhong and I wandered about Kensington Gardens, which has a beautiful pond with swans and ducks swimming around. It was fun to throw bread pieces and see pigeons, sparrows and ducks fluttering about. Now swans are a little different, they are graceful on water but when one big one keeps lumbering towards you on land, it's rather intimidating. Close-up, its enormous beak has sharp, pointy "teeth" and its black inside, and it was going to eat my hand with the bread, help! 
I can't believe how tiny I looked in the video, I always thought I was bigger... humph

After which we admired a few grand buildings, like Royal Albert Hall... before visiting the Natural and Science Museum. The dinosaur skeleton at the entrance recalled to me when I was very little and spent a day there with my littler brother copying scientific notes! Now, I spent an afternoon at the same place with a bigger guy discovering the other inhabitants of Earth.
Dinner was the famous Four Seasons duck rice. We had to order take-away because the restaurant was crowded and the queue was long. The Caucasian in front of us carried a large carton full of duck rice/noodle packets! We bought ours and hurried back to the hostel before it got cold and it was delicious!

After a restful day, we're ready to tackle anything that the rest of the school term brings. Bring it on!
