While we had a great day in Miami and we were happy to get a business class upgrade for free from Miami to London, unfortunately that is where the fun ended.
We arrived in London on time, showered and had breakfast before heading into London. The major problem was I got sick in the plane after I woke up, so I was not feeling the best. Arrived at the hotel and dropped our bags. It is actually only a block from the tube stop so really nice location. We had about 3 goals for the day and we failed miserably and got lost several times!
First in the agenda was the lulu store as they carry a different line than the U.S. Well it pretty much is the same. Stopped for lunch in a pub and I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with light sauce thinking it would be good for my stomach. It was ok on the stomach but had no taste!
Then onto look for my shoes the doctor recommended- Harrods was listed as a retailer. Unfortunately not anymore. They then told us of 2 other stores- one was miles away on the tube, the other by Marble Arch, so we headed to that one. We also made the great decision to walk, which is when Richard got cold… and it started to rain. Of course when you want a coffee shop you can never find one! All day it was in the 50’s with a light mist, so wonderful weather! Several hours later we finally find the store only to discover they are closed! We then go to my favorite shop to gets some ink pens- they are closed for renovations. Finally Richard needed some face cream- the store no longer carries it…
Finally after all of that we decided to call it a day and head back to the hotel. Richard had a nice long bath and I took a nap before a light dinner and an early bed time.
Let’s hope the rest of the week goes better!
