Happy Birthday to Emilie!
Buckingham Palace is our first stop. We got there for the changing of the guard. The changing is really uneventful but the crowds and fanfare are interesting. Back on the tube we are headed to Baker St. to see the famous 221b address. Dad got a picture of it and we went inside to check out the shop. We also found a big statue of Sherlock and I took a pic. of dad. \i guess we are just acting like tourists!
Harrod's --oh my! What aplace. We went through the Edwardian food hall and of course had to buy some food. We got scones and bread and went outside and ate it while watching the fur protest. Harrod's is just a place you have to see to believe! It was very busy and a great area to just walk around and see the stores and the people.
Ok next is the beer stop. Today we wnet to "Lord James Russell Inn" I had a Budweiser {not the American made} and dad had a Directors Bitter. Again very good and the bartender was very nice.
A quick trip to Covent Gardens and then dinner at the Wodka for polish food. We had stuffed cabbage and beet soup {borscht} the pierogis. We had a drink after dinner which was a cocktail for me with Rose Petal Vodka, raspberries, lime and soda. Dad had a shot of orange spice vodka. The vodka is homemade and flavored. Good! With that we where finished for the day and got back on the tube headed for the hotel!
