-We then rode the tube to King’s Cross, the home of our current residence, Clink 78. It used to be a prison… and it definitely feels like one. We left our bags in the “Luggage Room”, and headed out to see Buckingham Palace.
-Amazingly, we made it in time to see the changing of the guard… something neither of us knew was scheduled. Right place, right time.
-We then meandered through Hyde park, and somehow decided that going to Picadilly Circus would be a good idea. It wasn’t.
-After lunch at a TERRIBLE Chinese restaurant, we decided we needed to see the London Film Museum (or “Movieum” as it’s known).
-The Movieum was not as much fun as it’s name would imply. Tired and annoyed, we went to the “Real Food” market that was going on in the art district, and revived our spirits with Americano’s and a large brownie.
-Next was the search for dinner. We weren’t optimistic, due to our day’s track record, but we were hungry enough to try again. Things definitely ended up in our favor, thanks to the lady from the “Pie Minister”aka the only nice person in all of London. We bought 2 mini meat pies and got 6 for free.
-We got to see the Parliament buildings and the London eye after dark, which also helped to turn the day around.
-That was until the clink took us in. (and Alex starts writing because Maddy is tired)...Our French roommates loved chatting, hair dryers, and cologne. It made for a not so restful night of sleep.
But what can you expect? Sleep in prison is never easy..
