Pram, Camden Town, and a Train Pass

A pram is a stroller, or a push chair. It's just like what they used in Mary Poppins. And a brolly is an umbrella, but I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that before.

Have I mentioned that there are fire doors everywhere? Almost every room you go into has it's own locking door. Living rooms, hallways, etc. They do a really nice job of writing "push" or "pull" by almost every handle.

I started my night in Camden Town. Such a cool place, there were a few concerts about to start and two street bands were performing. I was looking for a specific gift for the family, but I couldn't find it. My plan was to pickup the gift, then to head over to Paddington to see the bear and Little Venice. But the sun started to set, so I headed back home instead.

I had bought a one month train pass thinking it was a good value. Today was the last day on that pass. It turns out that I would have had to come into London almost every day to break even. I came in a lot, but not that much, so I think I'll just be buying daily passes from now on. It felt like it was "free" to jump on the train, so now it'll be slightly painful to buy a ticket each time, but I'll tell myself that I'm saving money from not buying a one-month pass. 

Big weekend coming up, looking forward to it!
