Blogging from Britain Part 4
We’re waiting for our train for Paris so I thought I’d give an update.
Yesterday was pretty wet. It didn’t pour rain by any means, but it sprinkled on us pretty much the whole day. We went to Buckingham, which was pretty cool, and then we walked from Green Park to Hyde Park. We were pretty hungry so we walked uptown, which soon proved to be disastrous. This part of London was very upscale. We felt so incredibly out of place. We couldn’t afford any of the food either, so we hopped the Tube back over to Hyde Park. This area was even more upscale! D’oh! So we just walked around Hyde Park a little, and took the Tube back to Victoria where we belong. We ended up eating at the Shakespeare. I had a delicious falafel burger, which up until now I had never heard of. Then we decided to go to Piccadilly Circus and watch The Dark Knight. That movie was shockingly awesome! It was so dark and creepy! I loved it. It’s kind of weird that we watched two Heath Ledger movies while we’ve been in London. He carried both films too…
We came home to our last night in our god awful hotel. I’m so glad to be out of that hell hole!
Today we took the Tube to St. Pancras, where we stored our “baggage” and then headed over to the British Museum. That place is so amazing, yet extremely overwhelming. There was far too much to see in one day. We did the best we could though. It was great.
Now we’re chilling at St. Pancras, waiting for our train for Paris! Wish us luck!
