Although not quite what we had planned we had an awesome time!
Dan and Rebecca came over after work and we sat around and enjoyed some cheese, crackers, beer, and champagne before heading off to dinner. We had reservations at 8:00 pm at Jamon Jamon in Camden Town. We got there right around 8 and had some Sangria with our Spanish tapas, all of the food was excellent, with the exception of the first batch of croquettes that we got. We ordered Blue Cheese croquettes and instead they brought us Salmon croquettes, not quite the same. Oh well, we got the cheese ones and all was right again. The restaurant was very busy and they basically ended up ushering us out of the restaurant at 9:00 pm so they could refill the table, we figured we would be there hanging out until at least 10 but no luck.
Greg and I at Jamon Jamon:
We were going to go to Primrose Hill to see the fireworks but we really did not want to go there for 3 hours, so instead we went across the street to the "Spread Eagle" (a local pub) to hang out.
The 4 of us at the Spread Eagle:
Greg and I had eaten Sunday roast there the day before and saw that they were having a drag show, sounded like fun. So, we went in, grabbed a table, some champagne and beer and enjoyed the music. We then went into the main room, where the drag show was going on, and danced, laughed, talked, drank, and all until after 11:00 pm. About that time we noticed it was raining outside and at this point knew we were not going to Primrose Hill.
Dan and Greg, such posers:
Around 11:30 we left the pub to head back to our flat, we knew we would be able to see fireworks from there, even if they weren't the big ones at the London Eye.
Rebecca and I at the bus stop waiting for the bus (as you can see we are wet):
We got back with about 10 minutes to spare, opened another bottle of champagne and enjoyed the fireworks and setting off party poppers.
Rebecca and I setting off party poppers:
Happy New Year!
