Day 2: London Sights

Summer Holiday: Day 1, London

We arrived surprisingly well rested after an overnight flight to London.  Our temporary home at the Berkeley hotel is pretty fabulous!

The girls are excited to explore London--made famous by Harry Potter of course!

The plan for dinner is our all time favorite restaurant, Tamarind.  The best Indian food ever.

All the World's A...Department Store?

We've been ticking off the London sights: Tower Museum, London Eye, National Gallery, theater, fancy tea, tube, bus and cabs. We wandered into Harrods yearly sale and got lost in a maze of madness for three hours!

My husband would be glad to know that we bought nothing. $2000 pound purses on sale for $1000 still seemed like too much of a commitment--plus that would cost more than our airfare!

It seemed silly and wrong to be caught indoors at such an event on one of only three days in London. At least I know now that the economy seems to be alive and well in London, considering the women fighting over $700 shoes in the shoe department.

Summer Solstice & They're All Asleep!

It was a long flight, and my traveling companions are exhausted. I'm the only one raring to go out and explore London. When I was here in January, I had a lovely view of the London Eye, Westminster Abbey and the Tower Bridge sprawling along the Thames.

Now I'm looking at the sunset over some concrete buildings--I could be in Toledo, Ohio instead of London.

I hope someone wakes up to go out and play with me, otherwise, this is a total waste and next time we are staying at the airport Holiday Inn!
