The First Official Full London Day
Was up insanely early, not long after 5 to be exact. I guess that's what happens when you stay up for so long, and then go to bed early in the evening.
Got to chat to dad for a bit, which was nice. Got out of the hotel by about 9, and I headed off to Paddington station to get myself an Oyster Card, and jump on a train to Wood Lane. While there I of course went and had a squiz around the BBC, and went to the massive Westfield there. Suprisingly I managed to get through almost half of my lebanese wrap thing that I was having for lunch before removing the tomato and pickled cucumber from the rest of it.
Managed to get a cute umbrella for just £10 from New Look too.
After Westfield, I decided to catch a train from White City to Notting Hill Gate so I could jump on the circle line, but alas, NHG underground is closed this weekend so I ended up staying on the central line up until Bank-Monument. Jumped out there, where they have the longest escaltors I have ever seen, and got up to street level only to find a crowd of people hanging around to check out the London Lord Mayor's Show. So that was an experience I never knew I was going to have. Only saw a bit of it, because I wanted to go check out London Wall. Although however, on the way up there it started to rain, and get windy, so since I was now increibly cold, I opted to just walk back down to Bank-Monument, even though I was up near Moorgate, and caught the circle back to Edgeware Rd. I jumped out there instead of Paddington so I could stop at Tescos on the way though.
Now I have candy, chocolate, chips, and pot noodles to eat for dinner with a spoon.
Watched Merlin at 6. It was delightful.
And really that was it for me today. :)
No definate plans for tomorrow yet. Am supposed to be catching up with a friend, not sure where I will meet him. May just head down towards the Victoria & Albert Museum through Hyde Park, and see where the day takes me.
