Another good day! It’s guaranteed you’re used to a time-zone when you are awaken from the alarm clock easily. Had some coffee in the AM, then blah, blah, blah, blah (we both worked). On to the fun stuff…

Shawn had a good day at his class, but came home with a broken shoe from his walk home. Normally in Maui this isn’t an issue, since we can go to any store/gas station/grocery to buy slippahs… but they don’t just have dress shoes at the Tesco in London.

Ruh Roh, this won’t work.

I finished up work for a bit, and we went on a quick mission. 1. New Phone (since his International one was dying) then 2. New Shoes. We were able to accomplish both so now he doesn’t appear completely homeless. Yes, he has shoes AND a phone that works!!

After all that shopping (why does he say “I” do all the shopping?).. Had a pint at the local pub, and then back to a meeting for me.

Pre Meeting Pint of Ale

Then afterwards we met up, and went to a Gin Distillery that a local had recommended. The City of London Distillery, and glad we had the address, because it was down a narrow street (some would call an alley) with a nondescript sign.

It’s the right address… let’s go down the stairs!

Yep, we were at the right place. Very relaxing with low candle lighting, comfy large leather chairs, and a sharp attentive staff ready to answer all your questions about distilling gin.

The Stills are named Chelsea and Jennifer

Shawn is jealous of the stills

Relaxing after a hard day of work

After trying a couple different gins there, it was time for bed! On to the walk home.

St. Paul’s is a great landmark

St. Paul’s again, and my camera is sucking in this light.

No decent food places were open at 10pm in the area, so I opted for a sandwich to go from the local shop. (For Maui folks, this is a nice version of Minute Stop) In the spirit of adventure, I went for the sandwich-in-a-bag. Can’t be any worse than fried crickets or horse sashimi.. right??

Diarrhea, Cha Cha Cha

Ok, fine, one more pint at our local pub. Twist my arm!!

yummy, then good night!
