Sunday September 01
Plan A was to take a train-ride to Brighton Beach for the day. Unfortunately, Sarah’s rapidly aging feet meant that, given the requisite amount of walking on a Brighton visit, this would be a really bad idea.
Plan B was to go to Brick Lane for the day. For those who don’t know, Brick Lane is like Ground Zero for Indians moving to London. Needless to say, there are a few Indian restaurants on this street, and they’re probably all very good. Very authentic.
Another fun fact. Most Indian restaurants in London are actually owned and run by Bangladeshis.
Go figure.
As luck would have it, there is maintenance on a number of rail lines this weekend, and most of them are somewhere near Paddington. I knew there must be a way of rerouting ourselves around the offending sections of line, but I couldn’t find one. The assorted apps seem unable to create alternative routes. The apps for the Sydney trains seem to be more user-friendly and more diversion-able.
Yes, I know there are buses, cabs, Uber and Gett, but sarah decided that a rest and repack day would be more beneficial. So that was today.
Went for a wander nearby, and found a tiny Malaysian restaurant a few blocks away. Nice. Otherwise nothing of note.
Sorry
