Noting Hill Carnival

We had to get on a crowded bus at Camden then went onto Notting Hill Carnival. Got off and had no idea where I was but just followed the crowd. Look at it. That is a crowd!

Plenty of carribean food being cooked on the roadside, mmm yum.

If you hate crowds, this was not the place to be. At this stage Nic was on my shoulders, otherwise he would have been trampled or lost.

Okay, some flesh!

Hhhhhmmmmm, you get the idea?

The music at this stage was absolutely pumping, blaring!!!

Nic taking a breather.

Some more colourful dancers.

One dancer taking a break, or is she texting someone?

Eventually we had to make a move, on the way back plenty of food stalls. From here on we had to walk for miles it seemed to find the Holland Park tube.

People just stopped and ate their food on the street and rubbish everywhere. Along the way there were some great DJs pumping out the music. Even Fatboy Slim!

Finally looked back, heaps of people but we could see the tube station in the distance and we had enough of the crowds. Done the carnival, not sure if I would do it again.
