Places of worship: coffee, Mithras & beer

The places we usually go for our daily dose of caffein tend to be on the smaller side, but Host is something else: it’s in a church!

After coffee, we quickly visited another place of worship: a mid-3rd century mithraeum, nicely reconstructed underneath the Bloomberg headquarters.

Finally it was time to worship our own god—beer—at BrewDog Outpost Tower Hill. We had only been there for breakfast before, so today we finally have the opportunity to see it when it’s beer-o-clock!

Back to Brussels

Victoria Coach Station was the usual chaos and crowdedness I remember from my Megabus trips. Our Flixbus back to Brussels was late to start with, and boarding took ages. On the plus side: we would be crossing the Channel by ferry this time, so plenty of opportunity for decent meal!

Goodbye London, see you again soon!

Flat Iron & Flat White

Art makes us hungry, so we headed to Flat Iron for the thing they do best: flat iron steak, or butlers’ steak, as it should probably be called in the UK.

Very tasty—no sauce needed—and the free salted caramel ice cream was quite welcome on a hot day like this!

For our coffee, we prefer to visit specialists, so after lunch we went to TAP Coffee No. 193—or should I already say Department of Coffee and Social Affairs?—for our daily shot of foaming caffeine. Too bad they used disposable plastic cups for our iced coffee…

Ready, set, go!

After over seven hours in a bus—luckily well air-conditioned—and the obligatory double customs checks, we caffeinated ourselves at Iris & June: excellent espresso from the local roasters Ozone Coffee.

After that, it was just late enough to check into our home for the next couple of nights: easyHotel London Victoria. Excess luggage dropped off, and we’re now ready to take on the challenge, and go to our first BrewDog bar!

Praha – 3. den

Our third and last day in Prague, we visited the Galerie Rudolfinum, which meant — strangely enough — we spent most of the morning in the dark watching movies. After another taste of the Czech cuisine, and an espresso at Onesip Coffee, we continued our cultural day at the National Gallery.
After a quick visit to the Kafka head, we tried the last couple of craft beer bars.
