All of the running around was catching up to me when I realized at 9am that I forgot to turn my alarm on! So after a lazy morning, I ventured out to do some shopping! First stop, Harrods! It was everything I remembered from my last visit...CRAZY! There were people everywhere and it's quite claustrophobic! I walked through the Food Hall and realized I had enough. I got my tea and ventured, to find guess what TORRENTIAL rain (anyone detecting a pattern?). Back on the train, I decided to visit Selfridges. This visit to the Food Hall, I stopped and had some Salted Beef on rye with English mustard. The English do do mustard good! It was quite filling. I was able to visit the Jo Malone counter(favorite perfume shop)
The entire group was ending our time in London will a touristy visit, I was say not my favorite of these trip group experiences, none other than the Medieval Banquet. I only think that American tourists were there. I didn't see any English. There was a family from CT was across from us...a nice reminder of how small the world is. And at the end, the meal was OK and it was great spending some quiet time with my classmates. tomorrow was an early day as we ventured to our next campus visit!
I really enjoyed London and planned to spend my last day on this trip back in London to try to sneak in one more show! The weather wasn't going to deter any of us, and we made the best of what was presented!
