Our first full day in the UK – London to be specific. We’ve walked more in the last day than we have all year and we’ve done a good bit of that walking in the rain. Damn weather! It’s a little annoying to walk with an eight year old who loves the rain. She’s a nutcase, but we knew that before this rainy walking started.
We’ve explored a multitude of grocery stores – Tesco, Costcutters and Sainsbury – plus a good many mini grocery convenience stores. We’ve been to several pharmacies and a few hardware stores.
We’ve purchased our special oyster cards and explained, or attempted to explain, the phrase “the world is your oyster” but I’m not sure the children actually “get it”.
We’re playing some gameboy, surfing some internets and reading some books before we head out to Holland Park for an afternoon stroll before “tea time”. It will probably start raining just as we walk out the door. hmph.
Hooray! You’re there! (I also always find myself spending more time in Tesco’s and Boots than any of the tourist spots I think I’m going to visit there).
I’m off to see if you’ve posted any photos…
Rain or shine, hope you’r ehaving a wonderful time. Looking forward to updates
