I will include some photos later – tomorrow my time. Right now I just want to detail some of the day I have had. First I needed to do a tiny bit of work. I think I ended up doing about a couple of hours of various things meaning that I missed out on breakfast in the hotel. Not a problem. I decided to visit Portabelo Rd and have a look there, so I caught the tube to Notting Hill Gate. Portabelo Rd is full of antiques shops, and markets. I ended up picking up a brass sextant used for navigation pre-GPS for only 10 pounds. I could have got a larger one for 18 pounds, but it was a bit bigger.<\/p>\n

Then I wandered down Kensington High Street and Earls Court Road. Amazing shops there, with lots of very expensive stuff. I didnt buy much. At Earls Court I caught the train to Tower Bridge where I did the tour of the bridge, including walking over the top. Then I took the light rail to Docklands and looked around. After all that I then came back to the hotel. That was a lot of walking. <\/p>\n

Then this evening I caught the tube to Oxford Circus and had a look around. Unfortunately I found Hamleys, and bought a few things there. This is an amazing toy store. There was an amazing Steif Padington Bear and Pooh. But at 100 pounds each for 4-6″ bears the price was a bit high. <\/p>\n

Then I went to see Phantom of the Opera. I was really disappointed. The performance was not as dynamic as I was expecting. It did not compare to the recording of the cast, nor to the movie. I know this is a stage show, but still. Some of the production design was amazing, just that the performance did not live up to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
