DAY 3
Sunday was a relaxing day spent in London, although we did do our fair share of walking. After breakfast we took a short ride on the tube from Paddington station to the Embankment. From there we walked over to the Thames festival. For those keeping score at home, Steve ate his 2nd Flake 99 of the trip here. The fest was huge with a market type of atmosphere. The highlight was when Cathy got to meet Jack Sparrow of the Pirates movies.. ha ha
From there is was off to Trafalgar Square and eventually the Lyceum Theatre to see the Lion King. Wow!! What can we say about the Lion King! Great show!! Great voices! Great costumes! I'd see it again and again.. ha ha.
After the play, we headed to Picadilly and Lillywhites to check out the latest in sports fashion. We remember better deals last time we were here, but we still managed to pick up a few shirts.
People were wondering what we eat and what a traditional meal looks like. So here you go. We went to The Sherlock Holmes Pub and Restaurant for supper. The picture above it Toad in the Hole. Yorkshire Pudding with Sausage, New Potatos, and other Veggies. Yum-O. Although if you know Steve, he went nowhere near that green stuff.. ha ha. This marks the last day in the Paddington area of London. We have really enjoyed it here. It is a great location to be based during your stay here.
Today we are off to see Uncle Eric in Bedford. The plan is to pick up some Fish n Chips along with a milkshake on the way up to his place. Looking forward to spending some time with him.
As of now, we are unsure if we will have internet access in Bedford. Keep checking back for updates. Gotta love the internet cafes!!!!! Why didn't I think of that.
