Gabriela Julie Budd does London
I am tired from today's (Weds 25 Feb) journey and lack of sleep. I went out with two real girls. One, Lauren, was visiting from Australia and the other was one of my daughters.
We took a slow train in to Euston, a bus to Holborn, I showed them St. Pancras church, we walked through Scicillian Avenue, I bought Lauren a half pint of Bitter in a quaint Victorian pub with stained glass windows, glass partitions and sectioned off "cubicles",walked to Covent Garden and saw some performers, carried on to Leicester Square and then China Town where we had a really nice meal, we chose between us: boiled rice, crispy duck with pancakes and plum sauce, prawn in a chili and black bean sauce and honey roasted pork.
We carried on walking to Trafalgar Square and saw some of the portraits in The National Gallery, carried on walking to the River Thames and saw Big Ben ( Stop it!!), The Houses of Parliament and Westminster Cathedral. Took a tube to Green Park, walked past The Ritz to Buckingham Palace and The Mall. Walked back through Dover Street where we popped into Dover Street Market - a showroom for lots of designers where we saw a man's jacket priced at £1,530-00.
Next we visited several retro vintage shops in Covent Garden and I bought a nice small tan handbag with a shoulder strap. My daughter bought a basketball shirt and wanted to buy a blue Adidas PVC sports bag for £50. I told her I had thrown out at least two of those when I was younger, one only because the zip wouldn't shut properly.
We had a coffee at Starbucks then took a bus to Piccadilly Circus and Regent Street then walked back to Leicester Square where we went into a funland centre (The Trocadero) where we played table hockey and had a ride on the bumper cars.
Lauren said it was the best day of her holidays and they both took lots of photos. damn! I didn't have a camera. Am I now disqualified for tourist spotting without due care and attention and do I have to give in my tranny licence?
