Happy and Hungry in London

On June 22 - (video coming soon)
I landed in London and met up with Abi in Heathrow Airport (she was flying in from Dublin).  My view from the plane when landing:

We had a difficult time getting any of the vending machines to give us a cold Coke.  It was about 95 degrees underground in Heathrow going from terminal to terminal pushing our backpacks, and bikes.  We finally found the underground, unfolded our bikes, and were told we could not bring our bikes on the tube from Heathrow for some reason - so we folded our bikes again, and again, got many weird looks - a couple of Spanish guys even asked to take our photo with our bikes.  We caught a cab to our hotel.

We ordered fish and chips, but were then told by a british man to never order chips and fish from a pub but to order from a chip shop.... Whatever that is.

We ordered two Strongbows (because it was the only option we knew, for sure, we could pronounce without embarrassing ourselves... However it was much too sweet for either of us.

We later went out to a delicious dinner and walked around Teddington.  (The neighborhood in London we were staying in).

We ordered Lamb Shank and Potatoes:

Yum yum yum...

Then for dessert Chocolate Fondant and ice cream.

YUM

and YUM!

we nearly ordered another -

I have decided for my blog; while I am traveling I will write and post photos about my day and the foods I eat... when I return home I will attempt to recreate my favorite meals, snacks, pastries, desserts.... recipes.
