After a little sleep
Saturday, October 13th; 1:30 am London Time
OK so we've slept for a little bit and aren't as delirious anymore, but we are still jacked up with our time schedule. We are both sitting here wide awake and it is 1:30 in the morning.
After a long day of traveling, we rested for a bit and then headed out to see some sights. We headed over to the Lancaster Gate tube stop right off of Hyde Park and got some tickets. We hopped on the tube and went to Leicester Square so that our friends could get some tickets to see a show (they saw Spamalot). Then we walked around and ended up over at Trafalgar Square with the big fountains. That was pretty cool and quite busy.
After I stalked some pigeons for their picture, we headed off to Picadilly Circus and let me tell you - they aren't kidding! That place is crazy. There were like a jillion people and signs like in Times Square. Drivers here are nuts, they will just about run you over. Thank goodness on the streets they have painted "Look Right" or "Look Left" or else we'd be smooshed on the road right now for sure.
We walked forever and ended up eating at a little diner type place. I had bangers & mash (sausage and mashed potatoes for you yankees) with some sort of bread/cake thing with custard and jam for dessert. After a few more stops on the tube we were back at the hotel and ready to fall dead away.
Not exactly sure what we'll do tomorrow, but you can be sure I'll take more pictures and have an update as soon as possible!
See all the pictures on my Flickr page. Til next time ...
