Today I didn't think my day could get any better but then I found out that my subway stop is at King's Cross......yes the King's Cross from HP with platform 9 3/4!!!! so cool.
We took a stroll downtown and I saw where Braveheart was slaughtered and had his innards pulled out. neat! We also saw many churches that got bombed....(i forget by whom and I forget the name)....Then we walked across Millennium Bridge which also is a HP reference, and I got to see the London Bridge in the distance. London bridge was not all it's cracked up to be. Honestly Tower Bridge kicked London Bridge's ass. no wonder everyone wanted it to fall down.
After we got across we were bombarded by so many crazy street performers like in Central Park. My fav guy played the rocky theme some when a jogger would run by. How inspiring.
We also saw the London Eye which is a giant ferris wheel that over looks London. then we went onward towards BIG BENNNN! wooo
Later on we went to Buckingham Palace. It was so cool seeing the guards. It was not cool not getting to see harry or prince willy.
WARNING THIS IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT, BUT QUITE AMUSING!!!!.................................................. So we decide to sit on the curb for a little bit of rest. All through the buckingham walk i saw this woman zipping by me in her "elderly" scooter. Now as i'm sitting on the stoop she goes zipping by again going the other way....within 10 min she's coming back for another joyride.....luck would have it the scooter starts going beep beep beep beep beep beep beep and halts and jolts the woman. the scooter just ran out of batteries.........she had to be pushed to the tube.
After all that jazz we decided to go shopping at the renowned HARRODS!!!!! On the way there I saw two men squeeze into the classic red telephone booth. I laughed and as i wlaked by decided the AWESOME thing to do was knock on it............not so awesome. About 1/4 mile down the road i forget what i had down and GUESS WHO is in the next telephone booth.....CREEPY. They started to heckle me a bit and then started to follow BUT wouldn't you that he was a fellow Pole. How could one polish person be upset with another! He barely spoke english but he still yelled at me for my pronunciation of Pierogi.
We then explored Harrods for awhile. I saw how amazing it truly was. 5 floors of shopping....food...clothes... and shoes...God Bless the Queen
Did you "hump" the woman to the tube?
