First thing i had to do when i got to London was go to the Notting Hill Festival.
Fortunatley i arrived on the bank long weekend when it started. I met a couple of Aussie lads from Melbourne Dave and Nick and convinced them to go out there. We got there just after 11. We ate a lot of Jerk chicken and drank enough Red Stripe to fill the water catchment areas of all of Australia's capital cities.
A ridiculous amount of Jamacian sound systems, playing many various styles of Jamacian and African influences. Revelers would follow their favourite sounds systems around if they were mobile. It was so ridiculously dope that my world travels could end now and i would be happy.
The picture below is an example of just ONE of the streets. There was people in a few hundred streets just like this. Estimated that about 2 million people decend upon Notting hill. My only disappointment in hindsight is that i wasnt able to take too many photo's of the parade (too many people)
