Another awesome day in London. I love drinking hot tea at every
opportunity. My daily walks as home
prepped me for all this walking. The weather so far is very like Seattle. Cool
and a bit rainy. Perfect walking all day
weather. Jet lag requires a fairly early
night so we can get up early tomorrow to explore.
Visited Waterstones Piccadilly, Europe's largest bookshop, which was packed with people. New friend Michele (whom I met at RT) works
there. It was fun to see her in her
native habitat. J Could have stayed there all day
exploring. They had this amazing Lego
display.
Walked around Liberty – clothing, cosmetics and their world
famous print fabrics. Casually strolled
through their shoe department and saw these beauties. Christian Louboutin shoes. 760 pounds (about
$1500) did not buy them!
Beautiful Old Staircase
Looking down Liberty House
They still have these iconic red phone booths – but now they
have texting ability and internet
National Portrait gallery.
A fascinating morning at the National Portrait Gallery, then around the
corner, pausing to mingle with the crowds in Trafalgar Square before going into
the National Gallery. A feast for the
eyes.
Michelangelo, Raphael, da Vinci and Titian and dozens and
dozens more. Mind boggling to be up
close and personal with these works of art.
It’s hard to believe this is a one dimensional
painting. I was severely reprimanded for
taking the picture. Oops! LoL!
A lovely little pub where we ate bangers and mash and had a
cup of tea. (No idea who those people were) LoL!
