London Vacation 2011 - Thursday 12/29
This morning we tried some new breakfast plans, Anjie walks the 2 blocks over to Starbucks for coffee and croissants. London is so very quiet in the morning. 9am and it is barren. We are quickly adjusting to the later-day town, and are just starting our mornings at 9. We aren't ready to actually leave our hotel room until 11am, and then are looking for breakfast! In London sun rise is after 8am and sunset is around 4 something. It makes for a pretty short day.
The weather was really fantastic while we were in town. Near 50 most days, and only some rain. Very comfortable for sight seeing.
This morning (ok 11) we started at the Borough street market. We bought Iberico ham, yummy cheese, jam donuts, fresh juice. It was fun to walk around the venders. But we were getting hungry, so headed over to a little diner for breakfast/lunch at noon. After coffee, hot chocolate and eggs we are back in a taxi, over London Bridge and to the Tower of London.
The Tower is very cool, but Tom and Will are starting to get cranky. Back to the hotel to rest!
We tried going out shopping, but Selfridges is just as crowded as Harrods was, and the designer shopping just isn't my thing. Besides, it is raining. Back to the hotel for room service.
