London - Day 2

Friday

After another good sleep it was time to hit the foot path and take in some more of London's sites. We caught the Tube to Knights Bridge. Question... what is the definition of opulence?? Answer - Harrods. Between the Opera Singer performing on the escalators and the Egyptian escalators which were designed with such detail I could tell this wasn't a place a guy from Elizabeth Vale would be shopping in. They had all the polo gear and horse riding accessories which is lucky because I've broken my polo mallet.

From here we headed off to Bucking Palace and the House of Parliament for the usual photos and stopped in at the Silver Cross for lunch. Great service there... maybe not. I got the wrong burger and only realised this because I ripped the burger apart to see what was on it. On noticing this the table next to me saw that they had just been given mine. So the waitress gave me theirs.. not an issue as they hadn't touched it but then gave them mine ripped bun and all. There own fault though as the fat b*stard ate it without complaining.

We hit the Tower of London and spent and hour or so in there seeing the crown jewels and touring the Bloody Tower.

Now for the serious part of the day. We started at The Ten Bells Hotel for a couple of beers. Kristy, Paul, Zoe & a couple of her friends showed up then it was off to Brick Lane. This is a much smaller version of The Curry Mile in Manchester. Not a bad eat at Monsoon's Curry House then we hit a bar called 2012 where we kicked back for the rest of the night drinking Coronas, Mojitos and smoking some apple flavoured Shisha (a Turkish pipe thingy). Good company, not too bad weather, all in all a great day. Tomorrow it's The London Eye and who knows what else.

Pip pip!
