It has been another terrific day in London. Jillian and I got to see Buckingham Palace, the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, Kensington Palace, the Serpentine, the Prince Albert Memorial, the Royal Albert Hall, Harrods, the Albert and Victoria Museum, the Wellington Arch, and the original Soho. We walked miles and enjoyed every bit of it. The sites were what one would expect- beautiful reminders of the monarchy surrounded by the most breathtaking gardens and parks. My entire day was filled with the scent of roses lofting from the flourishing gardens. Harrods was especially exciting. It is indeed the supreme retail experience of the world. From fancy food products to Fendi fashions, Harrods sells it all.
The weather started off fantastic however, towards the end of our journey, a light London drizzle followed us on our return home. Once back at home base, Jillian and I made our way towards Soho. We waltzed around the area and settled on a bustling restaurant. There, we shared a bottle of wine and a salmon fillet that was spectacular. It was suggested by local bunch sitting next to us to stop by a club next to the restaurant. It was what they described as 'campy' and played everything from American 80's music to Billboard's Top 100. Two 25ml(the standard in the UK) shots of Southern Comfort and Jose Cuervo later, Jillian and I rushed to the underground to return home. Today was undoubtedly a success.
