Day 3 and 4 at London

I'm 

The last 2 days have been a blur. London is a fast paced, vibrant, fun -to-be-in city. 

The hundreds of pubs and bars are always full from lunch on but you can always find a spot. Crosswalk lights are almost without purpose as pedestrians dodge between gaps in the densely packed cars and busses that are always in a stop and go mode. 

In additions to the river cruise on the famous river Thames, London has the best shopping in the world. Need anything in the world and Harrods will deliver it in 48 hours (at their price!). 

Even unusual things are found in Harrods, such as the Dianna and Dodi memorial. 

Every car dealership I have ever heard of is on London. It is a car buffs dream, window shopping for Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Lamborgini, McClaren and more. 

The first day when I returned the rental car we had to negotiate parts of the downtown. Thanks to Ade's navigation skills, a map and TWO GPS's we inched to our destination taking 3 times the expected time--driving on the left side of the road did not help matters !

The nice thing about london is their world famous museums are free!  Science, Natural history (from prehistoric time to modern day), culture and Art , V and A museum, and on and on. Although not as extensive in its displays, the 

Museum of Natural History is a scaled down version of Washington's Smithsonian Institute 

Then London has the public squares (like Trafalger), parks (like Hyde park the home of free expression where people stand on a soap box and tell the world of their ideas) and streets like the Beatle's Abbey Road.  The changing of the guard BuckinghamPalace was not high on our priority list.  However I accidentally had one of my walks pass by at the perfect time and it was really a spectacle. 

London has it all including the night life of Soho and the Theatre district. 

Our final afternoon saw us meet a friend of Harv and Wendy. We enjoyed a matinee theatre production--THOSE DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRALS. it was a comic musical and even though it lasted 2.5 hours, the music was fantastic and the storyline histerically funny. 

After another great London restaurant meal, it was a short taxi ride to St Pancras station and our final subway train to Gatwick airport. 

9.5 hours breathing Air Transit air and we are approaching the Vancouver airport. 

Bye bye adventure.
