WARNING THIS POST IS FULL OF DISAPPOINTMENTS SO BEWARE!

Heading to London Bridge and walked over the bridge.  I had read online that there was a Christmas store at a shopping complex over here…… nothing!   So disappointment 1.

So headed to the Borough Market. What a crazy place to visit, so many stalls serving foods from all over the world






So we did not find all of the cool shops we had seen before at this market so sorry gifts will be very light from this trip, unless you can get Bob to give you a bottle opener, but slim odds on that.

So we walked the South bank again as we headed to the Buckingham Palace store, that is about a 4k walk.  Lovely walk through St James park and some more flower pics, I know you have been missing them.




Okay here it comes the bad news, hold on to something, the Buckingham Palace store was closed.  No sign no notice, just a girl talking to me through the crack to say they were closed for the day, and the Mews store was closed.  NO!!!!!!!!!!

My feet were killing me after 3 weeks of walking so what to do….

We jumped on the tube as we had seen some Coronation real stuff at Harrods, good thing we are good with tube.  Got there and WHAT! It was sold out.  Found a clerk from who was from Vancouver who tried to help and was also appalled that Buckingham was closed.  So got a few things and the walked again another 2k to get back to hotel.

I was not to be stopped, something was going to go well so we got last minute tickets to Hamilton which was just up the street.  Note Bob would not take me to Wicked due to the fact I would cry through the whole thing.



WALKED over 6ish km today. But in the end a good day.
