Yesterday was our first full day in London. We:
- Walked from our hotel to Sloane Square to get cash and Oyster cards to get around
- Took bus 11 to the west end to get discount theater tickets (Lecshire Square)
- Went to the National Portrait Gallery and Trafalgar square Had lunch at St. Martin's in the Field Cafe (called the Cafe in the Crypt - I'll let you guess which part of the church it's in)
- Walked around the west end/Parliament/West Minster
- Popped into the Coal Hole for a pint of Ale (well Carolyn had a half of cider)
- Went and saw "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (Really, really, funny)
- Took the bus (number 11) back to Belgravia
- Had a light dinner at La Bottega which was everything the reviews said and then some.
Where as Paris is elegance defined London is energy and motion. Not a place to start a trip but once your energy level is up it's a GREAT place to burn some of that energy off. We will come back.
So the question of yesterday was "Who write the little signs for the art work in museums?" "Here we see a fisherman with eight different kinds of fish and three kinds of fruit. We don't know the symbolism behind the fish". I want that job.
