Day One - part two

We knew we had barely scratched the surface at the V&A. But after having a quick and delicious snack we decided to head on to Harrods. Since we had our weekly transportation passes we decided to do some impromptu sightseeing so we hopped on a bus which took us past Hyde Park, Harrod’s and into a shopping district.

Then we did a little souvenir shopping and bussed and walked back to Harrods. I love walking through London neighborhoods. The architecture and the little parks are wonderful and varied.

Harrods was fun but I didn’t do much shopping. Just a little something for Eric and Jeff, Turkish Delight for Eric (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) and some Harrods guitar picks for Jeff. They had a large guitar show going on - "Harrods Rocks". Jeff, I tried to take pictures of ones you might find interesting.

As we were wandering through the store, we ended up in kitchen appliances. Now believe it or not the Brits did recognize our accents as being from across the pond and one salesman pulled out a box of Krispy Kremes to show us. Aaagh, KFC, Burger King, McDonalds and Krispy Kremes in London - You just can't get away from some things.
Soon after this our feet got the better of us and we headed home to our hotel, dinner and an evening of downloading (or in my case trying to figure out why my computer and camera were not speaking to each other before crashing. This would be the end of a great day, except the neighbors were loud and the room was overheated. Oh well, you can't have everything.
