Lazy Saturday in London

On Saturday the 14th we slept in late, around 10am, before getting up and having tea, muffins, and grapefruit for breakfast. The previous night had been rough and with the thin walls and the temperamental thermostat we had a restless night. The weather report said it would be rainy so we thought about indoor activities that we might do. We could catch a Lion King matinee if we scored tickets, or we could visit the Tower of London and St. Paul's.

We headed outside and the weather wasn't that bad. We went to Leicester Square again, checked the Tkts stand, but Lion King was sold out already. We located the Lyceum Theatre near Covent Garden, where Lion King was playing, and stood in line at the box office for awhile hoping to score last minute tickets, but gave up when the line hadn't moved in 10 minutes and the show was starting in half an hour.

Instead of heading to the Tower or St. Pauls we visited Covent Garden again, this time it was really packed with people. Kat started to get irritated with the crowds very quickly. It seems like people run into her more often than they do me. I found a couple small photographs of London that I wanted and picked them up for £5 each. Kat wasn't able to find any artwork she liked and got a bit frustrated.

I had a hankering for some fish & chips, and we were both ready to get off the streets for awhile so we wandered into the Sussex for lunch. I had a Guinness and some fish and chips and Kat had a burger with bacon and BBQ sauce and a Stella Artois. After that we headed home.

At home we took turns taking naps and using the computer. I blogged and uploaded pictures from the previous days and caught up on my notes before I went to sleep. We didn't end up going out again for dinner, we just ate cereal, crumpets, and candy and drank beer in the apartment. We failed to find any decent tours to Stonehenge and gave up. Another early day trip wasn't sounding as fun anymore after our long Edinburgh experience. Besides, we had Paris coming up on Wednesday to rest up for and the day trips were getting expensive.

I went to bed fairly early and read for awhile.
