I didn't notice the lack of ac in the subway but that was probably because it was pretty chilly when we were there. I didn't get to go inside Harrods :(.<br /><br />Haha some lady got caught in the middle during the changing of the guards so we actually saw one of them smile. Bwahaha.

I remember one afternoon we just walked through like 10 miles around the Thames bank, the Tate Modern, various parks and chillout spots. Definitely worth it strolling around with the natives on their holidays.<br /><br />Most of your observations are almost exactly like mine at the time. Got the feeling of being in Monopoly--check. Madame Tussauds--check. Kylie Minogue was the hot item then, with <i>Can't Get You Out of My Head</i> playing in the background. Going into the planetarium afterwards was a mistake, my vertigo took over and just made it like a roller-coaster ride.<br /><br />I also tried to find 221B Baker St but just ended up getting lost. Maybe next time.Yawarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741563704441932843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-36959876785696850402009-07-21T13:57:53.547-04:002009-07-21T13:57:53.547-04:00Specs: haha I didn't know how to spell 'Me...<b>Specs</b>: haha I didn't know how to spell 'Meridian' and was too busy/lazy to check.<br /><br />Ya that was some expensive cake. Can you imagine eating it? I don't think any person can tell the difference between that and a 4.99 cake with a blindfold. Well, given the customer base they have from the Emirates - a fool and his money are soon parted.

If not I can strongly recommend it, you get them everywhere in London and you'll never be lost.<br />At the back is a simplified map of the tubesystem, brilliant, you will easily be able to plan your tube-trips.<br /><br />Get a ''Time-Out'' for comprehensive information on what's going on in London, from concerts to walks, to museum exhibits, to markets. These walks are great fun btw. And they list the smallest, least know museums and much more.<br /> <br />I hope you are enjoying your stay!<br /><br />Are you going to send me one of these cakes?Aafkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208127027735552298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-80051981982148784292009-07-21T02:02:42.455-04:002009-07-21T02:02:42.455-04:00LOL, Mr. Prime Meridian.
