You read that right. Nine miles. At least for the girls of the group.
We finally had our chance at shopping!
Earlier on, we visited the Royal Observatory, and the National Maritime Museum. The Observatory was interesting and the view was totally worth the almost 90 degree incline trek.
There at Greenwich, the Meridian of the world, that devices the world into two hemispheres, is located. We were able to talk a picture with our feet on either side.
The National Maritime Museum was the best of the two, because there were more interesting pictures and artifacts to look at.
I was itching to get out of the museums though, so I could scour London's shops!
Some of us wanted to see Olympic park. It turned out that no one was allowed to even walk around in the venues, so we had to take a long distance photo from a tube platform.
We finally were released to do our own thing.
Thats when my day got exciting!!!
We started off on Oxford street, with many uptown shops and nicknack stores.
I found my mom a purse, got my grandmother some tea, bought my brother a stupid Chelsea jersey that cost me a fortune.
And then came the event that made this trip worth it.
I went into the Nike store, searching for football stuff, and sure enough, I found my beloved Manchester United Jerseys!!!
I bought a red home jersey for a steal, and got free name and letter ironed on the back!
I never want to take it off.
I will for the sake of the group, but I really, really don't want too.
Anyway, for dinner, we went to the ultra-technologically advanced restaurant Iamu.
It was different to say the least.
To get your food, you had to put your hand on the track pad and order directly from the table.
Something new for me. The bright colors of the table gave me a headache, but thank God the food was good. Expensive food I ever had, but the technology part of the dinner made it worth it.
Good day overall.
Can't wait for Ireland!
Until then,
Peace out.
