DAY 29: Portobello Road and much more

Portobello Market and Nothin Hill


As you left the Underground Station signs guide you to Portobello Road. Sometimes it´s easier to follow the people, you know.

Vintage boutiques, and clothes shops leads you to the market.

This market is great if you´re looking for antiques. There are lots of galleries full of stalls with antique goods.
I bought an 80´s and a 50´s brouches for 5 pounds.

If you continue down the road you get to the groceries market, and the to the trinket stalls.

I wnet to see the Blue-door house from the movie, though now the door is been painted in black. I also went to Rosmead Road to see the garden where Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant had their first kiss. (Sometimes I get so cheesy I surprise myself!).

Holland Park


It was so cold! My fingers were frozen.
I bought a capuccino and continued for Holland Park.
This park must be beatiful in summertime, today, at the end of the afternoon and so empty, looked a little creepy. I kept hearing noises from the trees, I though some evil squirrels were stalking me.

But the park, even with its frozen pond is beatiful.

After this, it was getting dark. I left for Kensington, to see some shops, because it was really dark for the gardens.

It started to snow. I loved the feeling. But I hated the effect of the snow on the street, makes it slipery and wet.

Lovely day, though.
