Leonard: How did you manage to get on the second floor of the Glendale Galleria?
Sheldon: I don't know, I was on the Pasadena Freeway, missed my exit, flew off the overpass and...one thing led to another.
Confident that we'd mastered the Tube (aka London Underground) we missioned it out to Kensington Palace which we discovered was partly closed for upgrades. We did get to go for a wander around the State Apartments which had been transformed into a modern art type 'experience' - was slightly unusual but building was amazing. We also had morning tea in the Orangery (royal version of a greenhouse) which was a bit posh (although we had coffee which might be some sort of crime).
We wandered through Kensington Gardens, past the Albert Memorial (which was impressive). Apparently Queen Victoria declared that all the railings in London were to be painted black in mourning - they've never changed them back. Saw the Royal Albert Hall and the amazing buildings that surround it. Also saw some person moving house, the building clearly wasn't built to handle our modern demands - he needed a crane to get his stuff out of his flat.
We then quickly went through the National Science Museum and Natural History Museum (education on a holiday?) which were pretty cool.
After that we found ourselves at Harrods - which was an experience. It was like Smith and Caugheys in Queen Street, except 7 stories and had it's own souvenir shop (Harrods pen's anyone?).We quickly got over the size of it because the crowd inside was even larger.
