Blue Monster!
We finally arrived home on Monday night. I say finally not because of anything having to do with Scotland, but because of the last little bit of our journey. We got back into London at 7pm. The Notting Hill Carnival had been going on all weekend, including Monday but we thought things would be wrapping up by 7pm... oh how we were wrong. The carnival actually went right by our house and it was still going on when we got in so the tube stop nearest to us was closed. We therefore had to get off at the stop before and walk home. This would be a 15 min walk on a good day, with no one around. We got out of the tube and it was MADNESS! There were intoxicated people EVERYWHERE as well as the loudest music I've ever heard and smoke from huge barbecues along the sides of the streets! We had no other option but to push our way through. Mommy used my hot-rod as a sort of bumper car to move people out of the way. Daddy made sure Mommy and I were safe. Luckily, I was covered up by a blanket but it was still CHAOS! We finally made it home an hour later, just after running across a huge carnival procession outside our house. Next year we will definitely wait until Tuesday to return from wherever we might go to get away! On a side note, look how big I'm getting...
