Vacation Part 3

It's now Tuesday morning. I spent Saturday at V Festival and saw a number of bands and DJs, most of whom I had never heard of. I did get to see the Killers from backstage...very cool!! I spent that day with a friend of my cousin and two of her friends. It was a lot of fun. I got free alcoholic (and non-alcoholic) beverages all day!! So much fun! That night I was exhausted and slept very soundly on the floor in my cousin's hotel room.

Sunday I spent the day on my own at the festival. It was soooo hot that day. So the heat combined with my jet lag made for a rather tiring day. I didn't stick around for Lady Gaga or MGMT, but saw a lot of bands I didn't know. Oasis cancelled at the last minute so I didn't get to see them. It was still a good day in all. I headed back to London around 8pm and managed to get myself back to my cousin's flat before 10pm. I had a shower and pretty much crashed by 11pm.

Oh, Tanya, you'll be proud...I ate some sort of pie from one of the food stalls. It had goat cheese and mushrooms in it with some other stuff and they topped it with a heaping scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy...mmmm!! I also had chips and gravy!

Yesterday was a relaxing day for me. I wandered around the area here a bit and then sort of vegged. I'm on vacation after all. My cousin came home from work early, but was totally bagged from the weekend. She napped and then worked a bit and we chatted as we watched tv. For dinner we had Indian! Yep, I ate it and enjoyed it except for the spinach. We had nan, butter chicken, stuffed chillies, Pilau rice, Tarka dall, Pappadum with chutney and mint sauce. I was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps we'll try Thai next.

Today I'm heading out on a bus to doa little shopping. I might wander around and see a few landmarks while I'm out and about today.
