London: Days 2 & 3

Here is a run down of the last two days.


- Bike Tour of London which included many famous and not so famous London highlights. (Photos: John on Bike Tour, Big Ben, St Paul's)

- Late Lunch catching up with High School friend at the Tower Hill Wagamamas.

- Late night Indian food at Chutney's on Drummond Street on the way there I was also able to catch a glimps of my old home the International Student's House near Regent's Park.
- Visited the Rotary Club of London...yes the original club of London and all of Europe actually.
- Took a stroll through Green Park to catch a glimpse of Buckingham Palace.

- Shopping on Oxford Street (I needed a new purse...I never should have brought that bottomless pit of a purse...however small...still a nightmare while John wanted a rain coat).
- Tate Britain...not so impressed with the "famous" artists of Britain...not so sad that I chose not to take the Tate Britain class when I was here for the semester.

- Dinner at a pub on Vauxhall Bridge Road...we mistakenly used the term "restroom" there is not such thing in the UK.  Toilet, WC or Loo would be more understood.
- Next up...WICKED at the Apollo Victoria Theatre!!!  Loved, Loved, Loved it!!  I wish there was more time in London to see a few more musicals.  They are so well presented especially when the theatre is devoted to showing only that show.

- We had to visit Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station.

- Ended the night at O'Neils Irish Pub.  Finally had Strongbow...oops...I'm alluding to my cider chronicals.


Tomorrow (our last day in London) we are planning to visit the Olympic Park, Westminster Abbey, and the National Gallery before seeing a concert at St Martin's in the Field.


Cheers!
