London Day 3

Tuesday 11^th October, 2011

Didn’t have a lot planned for today so didn’t leave the house until a bit later which was good in that we were able to save a few dollars on an off peak travel pass, I’d like to add though that once again we still woke early. We went into town and had a look around some shops and then headed to the one and only ‘Harrods’ for some more shopping. What an amazing place. It was nice just walking around looking at all the things we couldn’t afford…actually there are a lot of affordable things as well. They also have a dedicated area for all the Harrod’s touristy stuff, like the tote bags (in just about every size) and keyrings, cups, pens, everything really.

We left there and walked over to Hyde Park and strolled through there. It is so big and we only saw a small section of it. There was a café at one end of the lake and we stopped there and had a drink and some cake. We then walked down to Poet’s Corner and Marble Arch and then back onto the Underground to check out a shopping centre. We’d had enough by that stage and it was about 3:30pm so we decided to head back to Potters Bar so that we could go to McDonalds and put the blog on for the past few days as we don’t have access where we are. So for the delay and lack of photo’s we’re sorry.

We arrived back home at about 5:30pm as Anne has booked us into an Indian Restaurant for tonight. Alan won’t be coming though because he will need to stay home with the dogs. They have two beautiful black german shepherds, Jet  who is about  9 years old and the puppy Beau who is about 17 weeks old. They are very funny together when they are playing and Jet certainly lets the playful Beau know when he’s had enough.

Tomorrow, our last day, Anne has booked us into the apparently renowned ‘gherkin’ for drinks. It is said to have a fantastic 360 degree view so we are really looking forward to that.

This will probably be the last entry as even though we don’t leave until tomorrow night we will probably be spending the afternoon trying to squish everything into our cases!!

Toodle pip for now.
