I know I skipped out on the details of our London trip – but, honestly, I wasn’t up to it once we got back. So here are the highlights:
*The holiday lights on Regent Street, between Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus (see links to photos on previous entry)
*Yummy Indian food at Britain’s oldest Indian resto – the vindaloo is a lot spicier there
*Visiting the Science Museum in South Kensington (yes, it really was quite fascinating)
*Manicures and Manlycures at Bliss London
*Climbing the 193 stairs at the Covent Garden underground station (always always take the elevator!!! It’s equivalent to climbing 5 stories of stairs – or so the sign says)
*Dinner at the OXO Tower Brasserie
*Aladdin, a holiday panto, starring Sir Ian McKellen as Widow Twanky at the Old Vic
*Shopping at Harrod’s
*New Year’s Eve dinner and celebration at Mirabelle
*Eating fish and chips and drinking a beer at a London pub with Adam
*The luxury movie experience in London with reserved seating, spa-like waiting areas, sweet (kettle) corn and a full bar
*Making the day trip to Brighton to visit Sarah: another pub for a shandy (sp?; beer + 7up), bangers and mash, sticky toffee pudding with devon cream, visiting the Royal Pavilion
*Making the day trip to Cambridge to visit Adam: embarked on a lovely and most informative tour of The Backs, beers and ciders at pubs, watching the punters on the river Cam
*Maltesers: “Honeycombed malt biscuit balls coated in milk chocolate (more biscuit than chocolate) hence they’re ‘The lighter way to enjoy chocolate’…”
