Day out: Hyde Park

Hey guys!

So recently a couple of my closest friends and I went to Hyde Park for the day. It was quite a spontaneous outing, which for me is quite rare as I prefer days out which are planned a few days beforehand.

So we got the Hammersmith & City line to Edgware Road. We decided to get off at Edgware Road rather than the stations that were much closer to the park as my friend knew a nice place where we could get lunch to go. This meant we had to walk for around 25 minutes from the station but boy was it worth it. 

The restaurant was called Abu Zaad and served Syrian food. This was my first time trying Syrian food so my friend recommended the Chicken Shawerma, which cost us £3 each. We got a free canned drink each but my friend mentioned that the last time she visited she hadn't got one. So I guess we got lucky!

We stopped at a Tesco on the way and bought ourselves some crisps, muffins and biscuits. We were going to get ice cream too but decided we'd get it at the ice cream vans in the park.

Now, I'm a pretty stingy person and love getting my money's worth. Normally, I'm left a bit unsatisfied after buying wraps or sandwiches as they don't have enough actual meat in them but have more salad and general filling. This time however... I was definitely pleasantly surprised. There was soooo much chicken in the wrap! I felt as if the wrap was never ending. 

It was such a nice day- weather, friends, food and all! (However, I did get major spotty, dry skin the next day which I figured out may have been due to the sun exposure but the day itself was still great!)

I hope the post wasn't too long! >.<"

Take care,
