Today we took a Thames River Cruise up to the Tower of London and saw the London Eye. We didn't go on the London Eye. .... I'm not a huge fan of heights. We walked through a farmer's market at Kings Cross and sampled some mince meat pie. We also went to Platform 9 3/4 for all of you Harry Potter fans. Next stop was to the Charles Dickens Museum which was kind of boring but we got to see inside the house of how they lived back then. No day would have been complete without a visit to the Beefeater Gin Distillery. .... which we learned that ALL Beefeater Gin is made in Kennington, London, kind of hard to believe. I bought a bottle of their Garden Variety Gin which is only sold at the distillery using one of their small pot stills. If I love it I can only get it here so I'll only use it for special occasions. Kris bought out the gift shop. ... again. Then we decided to half a nicer dinner off of Bond St. The streets were windy and narrow and the restaurant was hard to find. .... but we finally made it and. ....... we had no reservations and the night was booked. I put on my charm and got us a table (or as Kris puts it, I got angry and they gave us a table. ... it was a long day). Back at the flat now and we are staying in. .... it has been an exhausting night. High Tea tomorrow!
