Shakespeares Globe Theatre and Other Shinanigans

Yesterday we had a very lazy start to the morning. We had a quick gourmet beef burger at the Borough market before meeting Grant and Bea at the Globe. We went to see Richard III and I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was. We were debating about how good it would be based on the 5 pound entry fee we paid for standing tickets. You could sit for 40 pound though so that would probably bank role the production. Bloody waste of time trying to understand a word they were saying but the quality of the play was top notch. The dude playing Richard was amazing and it also featured Owen from the Vicar of Dibley. I was sure he was going to bring out his farting duck any second but that probably wouldn't have fit into the play very well.

After a de-brief in a pub we went to visit Jess and Jesse who didn't even know I was travelling, let alone in London. We had dinner and a few beers with them before going to check out Haydens old work place, Burrito Cafe. One of his mates was working there so we got free burritos which were pretty good. Then we went to a pub called Slim Jims which had a DJ playing awesome old songs. Plenty of swing music too (just for you Becky!). At some stage Hayden and I got mis-mothered (Hayden had work the next day so we had vaguely planned this) and I was left in the middle of London to get to Hayden's house by myself without the aid of technology. Me and a hilarious Canadian mate of Haydens went for a walk to find a bus that would go to Seven Sisters. We asked a couple of drunk people what they thought and promptly ignored their advice. I then found a bus stop that seemed to say that there was a bus going to Seven Sisters. I was having a yarn to girl at the bus stop when another bus came along and at the last second she said "get on this one, it'll go to Seven Sisters" so I got her bus wondering what direction I was going in. She got off after a couple of stops but was pretty adamant that the bus would go to Seven Sisters. It took a while but I got there eventually, with no thanks to the dude throwing up on his shoes quite a lot, he wasn't helping anyone. I got off at the underground station because that was the only place I knew I could get to Haydens place from (even though I think there was a bus stop right outside his house) and masterfully navigated my way home for some well needed kip.
