July 13 - Day 14: our last full day here in London... can it really be so?!?! there is so much more to see!
Lunch in the park, feeding the pigeons. (We liked our Swiss packed lunches the best... shhh... don't tell Pax!)
One wrong train and one wrong turn, but we finally found the Royal Observatory and the Meridian Line and 0 0' 0". Lots of cool exhibits.
Walked back down the big hill and found the Fan Museum. Which is the only fan museum in th world (and now we know why) :-) The most interesting thing I found here was the guy sweeping up the patio and his mohawk. But, it is something you can't see anywhere else!
Metro to Piccadilly, but another long walk is awaiting us. There was a bomb scare and the Piccadilly station is closed!
Lots of shopping... finally found the tourist trap stores the girls were looking for (and that we could hardly avoid in Paris!). I went on a power shop to find a tote bag to bring all my goodies home in. Found more choices then one could even need in the largest sporting goods store I have ever seen!
Dinner was at an interesting place called Nando's (again with the chicken/rooster theme!) All the chicken is marinated in Peri Peri sauce (apparently a made up thing) and it is spicy! But good! Portions are very big and we all eat till we're stuffed.
Back to Pax Lodge to pack.... wait... really?!? to pack??!?! we are all gonna have to sit on our suitcases!
