Full Day in London
Summary:
Rode the largest cantilever ferris wheel in the world, the London Eye. 40km view in every direction
Walked along riverfront and saw lots of street performers in CRAZY getups
Saw a cute little vending truck and had to take a picture. Also had to make a strategic angle shot of the truck, which features two topless old guys. Very European!
Popped into an art gallery that featured all the album art of... the guy who did Pink Floyd's art. AWESOME stuff!
Sat on giant furniture of an outdoor theatre
Took pictures of the rebuilt Globe theatre (exact replica of Shakespeare's Globe, which burned down)
Walked to St. Peter's Cathedral, but stayed outside.
Walked Fleet Street and saw nothing that looked like Sweeny Todd or Mrs. Lovett's Consortium and Parlor
Ate baguettes at Cafe Rouge
Took "The Tube" (subway) to Green Park to look at Buckingham Palace. Chatted with the cop who had an H&K MP5. Felt grateful to be in a country that allows its citizens to have semi auto firearms!
Went to Green Park to look at something the kids were playing on. I wanted to play, too. Got closer and realized that the thing was a monument, and decided not to disrespect the piece. Wonder who lets their kids play on monuments???? Left monument and took a slight nap in the park.
Got itchy from the grass and went back to the hotel for a nap.
Got up to watch Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre. Even though the musical followed the Disney script to a T, I enjoyed this stage production much more. I definitely encourage anyone to see it!
End of day. Ordered dinner from 24hr room service.
