Just look at the view from our hotel room... the fountain and courtyard was beautful to see and walk through on our way to the hotel lobby. Today was the day for the whole group to hang out – the meetings were finished and everyone was able to relax. I got the most relaxation with an hour long Sodashi massage in the morning while Dave, Jonathan, Maureen, Harley and Lorraine headed to the Eye of London. Later, Brian (who enjoyed his own relaxation and lie in) and I walked to Trafalgar Square (bottom left) to meet up with them at Waterstone’s bookstore.
From there, we all trekked in the rain, taking occasional pauses from the rain underneath doorways and in lobbies. We made it to St. Paul’s Cathedral where Harley looked around as Brian and I, after carrying almost empty coffee cups for 45 minutes, managed to spill their remains all over the marble floor in the lobby area. The joke then was that we spent the afternoon mopping up the floor of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Brian, the Irishman, was surprised that the ticketsellers then took the cups from me and threw them in the garbage. (The reason why we carried the empty cups around was that there were not any garbage bins in sight – one less place to put bombs.)
We then headed to Sloane Square so I could buy some wool for our dear babysitter and knitter extraordinaire Carmyn. After lunch/supper in a pub, we headed to a china shop and back to Harrods so Harley could see it. Our night then ended with a West End Theatre production of “Wicked.” That, however, deserves its very own post!
