The Powells at Trafalgar Square
Work up this morning fairly well rested, and seemingly over the jet lag.... time would tell! The kids smoked up the kitchen cooking up bacon, eggs, french toast and other delicacies for breakfast then we were off for a bit of shopping and siteseeing.
We rode the great London institution that is "the tube", to Tottenam Court station to visit the Oxford/Regent Street shopping area where we encountered loads of people doing their Christmas shopping. We managed to buy a few bargins - the kids wanted
a few things, and a chance to spend their "British money". Everyone scored something - even Kellie and Tim!
Next stop was a coffee shop where we planned our first assult on the Monopoly Challenge" - see the photos on the Monopoly tab. We
managed to walk from Oxford Street all the way to Pall Mall, via Trafalgar Square. Along the way we managed to tick off.... Pall Mall, Whitehall, Northumberland Ave, Mareborough St, The Strand, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square (I have to check the
spelling of that EVERY time!), Coventry St, Piccadilly, Regent St and Oxford St. Not bad for a first day!
We then made our way to Southbank for some dinner and a well earned sit down. After recovering our energy, we wandered the Christmas
markets and sampled some mulled wine (VERY tasty!).
Then it was back on a train at Embankment back home to Jeremys place to pack for our next adventure to Paris.
