After a quick sleep, I was awake once again bright and early for present opening time take two alongside a very excitable, newly turned 21 big sister ready for an exciting day ahead. The lucky thing was given a number of a-mazing presents, including a gorgeous Michael Kors watch from her favourite sister and the nicest Mulberry bag ever which she'd been eyeing up for a very long time! Pimped out with all her new gifts with a massive 'luckiest girl in the world right now' grin plastered across her face, we made our way up to London once again to enjoy more of the many wonderful things it has to offer! After a little browse around Bond Street and Oxford Street we made our way to Covent Garden to indulge in a little afternoon treat at Laduree, the French Patisserie. We'd been craving their Macaroons for quite some time now and we thought that a birthday celebration was the perfect occasion to give the little pieces of heaven a try. We also ordered a Hot Chocolate each too which were insane, it was literally liquid chocolate which was amazing and it all came in the prettiest tea set. We picked a little selection of Macaroons between us, Pistachio, raspberry, Vanilla and Strawberry marshmallow which were divine. They just melted in your mouth they were so good, but you had to take tiny bites just to make them last longer! The other great thing about Laduree is if you sit outside, it's a prime viewing spot for the Covent Garden entertainment so we watched some funny men make members of the general public run around in tutus which was pretty entertaining to see!
After we had perfectly filled ourselves up on that nice little treat, we made our way to the Westfield in Stratford to do more shopping. The shopping centre has only recently opened and it was all put in place for the upcoming olympics so that place was phenomenal, filled with every shop you could think of and row upon rows of delicious places to eat. After a good browse around the shop, our appetite was back and so we headed to Yo! Sushi. I had never been to Yo! Sushi before, so it was a real experience and I'd been wanting to go for quite a while too! We were sat at the bar in front of the conveyor belt of food, it was so cool to see the food right in front of you and be able to try out lots of new things. Ages ago, I was pretty dubious about Sushi as the only thing I associated with it was raw fish like octopus, which personally, I am not a fan of! But I have gotten more and more into sushi and there's a lot more to it than that, vegetables, salmon, sesame seeds all combined to make lots of yummy goodness! You were also able to order noodles too and despite things being small, they all culminated in leaving you satisfyingly stuffed.
After our busy day out and about, we then headed home to have another delicious meal with our family at the nearby pub, The Mark Cross Inn where we visit every year for birthday dinners because their Fish and Chips and Burgers are just the best! It was a lovely end to a busy couple of days but the celebrations don't end there as there is still the party yet to come!
