Then we went separate ways to finish up our individual touristing goals. I headed to the National Portrait Gallery because I had not been there yet. I loved it because they had whole rooms set aside for the Tudors, my favorite ruling family! I also went for run in St. James Park. It felt so good to run again!
That night we wanted to make sure we went out properly. We headed Pizza Express for some dinner. After some pizza and wine we went to Porter House, an awesome pub that is also a brewery. They make their own beer and have awesome flavors! We split a raspberry and honey beers…we heard they had chocolate bears but we didn’t end up getting one.
We moved on to Dity Martini in Covent Garden and ordered apricot sours. Finally, we went to O’Neill’s, Hillary’s favorite. We ordered snakebite blacks and listened to a live band. It was a great night!
Monday, May 4 I felt kind of sad the whole day because it was my last full day in London. I went to Pret for breakfast and load up on croissants because European croissants are much better than those in the states. First I went to Westminster Cathedral, which had really different architecture.
Then I headed to the Transportation Museum (Hillary recommended it), it was really fun and very well done. I learned a lot about the evolution of public transportation in London and the weird ways the use to build the undergrounds.
I could have and should have done more but it was rainy and cold and I felt sad, so I went back to the hotel and rested for awhile.
However, Hillary and I had made reservations for tea (obviously I had to do it one more time) at Harrods at 4. I left at 3 and walked the whole way down from Leicester Square to Knightsbridge. It was a nice walk that took me through Trafalgar Square, past Buckingham Palace and along Hyde Park.
Tea was lovely, and very filling.
After tea we walked to South Kensington to get one last frozen yogurt from Snog.
Then we went back to the hotel to pack up one last time before leaving London….
