Scotland.

OH MAGICAL AND MYSTERIOUS SCOTLAND, I MISS YOU SO!
I had such a wonderful time on my scotland adventure tour [wild&sexy] yellow bus!
I met many new friends, mates from all around the globe, New Zealand, Australia, Berlin, Brazil,Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Canada and Texas!
Our tour guide was this wonderfully grouchy old Scottish man, who had been a commander in the Army. Our tour was filled with fun and excitement and also many naps on our yellow bus!

Lovely Saturday at the Borough food market and at Portobello Road Market.

I had already ventured to Portobello before but went with my friend who just got to London 2 weeks ago from studying in Ireland.

Borough Market is a food lover's paradise and I found myself salivating at every twist and turn of the market.

A few of the goodies I bought at the market:

Olive bread
Yummy cheese
White plums
Mushroom dip
Gluten free salted caramel cake
Baby strawberries
Tomatoes
and more...

The prices at the food market can't be beat and the food options are beyond belief.

Portobello is a little up-priced and I disliked how insanely crowded it was, but Saturday is the one and only day to go! The vintage stores right off of the Notting Hill Gate Tube stop are where I like to browse since they have such amazing jewelry and trinkets!

Hope to return soon Barcelona, although next time I will certainly brush up on my Spanish.
