Day 3: Camden Town

          I went to Camden Town today.  There are hundreds of shops here but it’s really popular for its market place.   It is here when you can find true London spirit. You can waste hours exploring the area from Camden Lock Market , Buck Street, Stables Market, and the indoor market known as the Electric Ballroom or just have awesome quick eats at the food market.   This place is so lovely.  It has this vibrant and young feel to it. 
         There was one really unique shop called Cyberdog.  We waited outside for a wee bit in a lineup and when we went downstairs it was dark, the place had it's own DJ blaring music and the place sold clubbing clothes.  Most of the clothes that look futuristic (think of the Jetsons) and they glow!
  
Susan got some Colossal donuts from this kiosk.
 Now that's what a call a donut!!! Mmmm.... donuts.

We ate along the river, sitting on one of these motorcycle halves of seats that were everywhere. 

I had a crepe at one of the stalls.
           It’s not the usual sugar and lemon but it’s darn tasty!  Pears and cinnamon can be great too.   A lot of people were getting savory crepes and it’s called a “country crepe” here with ham,eggs and cheese O_O omg, it’s practically a meal.  Then we wandered around the shopping area.  I don’t know why but I was really hoping to hear people bargain for stuff and say “quid” like on those British antique shows.  Noone says quid :'( only pounds I guess. 

There were some houses nearby that lined the streets.  
  They were just as quirky and vibrant as the market place. 
I think these row houses are quite cute.
