This weekend my Dad was visiting London during his layover at Heathrow, on his way to India for birdwatching. (Yes, sometimes I feel like I live in a Wes Anderson film). We met up at the hotel he was staying at and went for a walk along the South Bank to the Tate Modern. Then we ate at this cool restaurant in the Oxo building, before going to see Richard Dreyfuss in Complicit at the Old Vic. The play was a bit much, the lead kept on crying and whining in a high pitched voice, it made it difficult to understand what he was saying.
On Saturday we went to The Tower of London- it was really cool, our tour guide was a Yeoman Guard or a beefeater, and she made all these jokes about beheadings and torture, comparing the coin that was traditionally handed to the executioner to severence pay... she was cute.
It was very strange though, being in a place where so many queens had died... and the Royal Jewels, they were pretty cool- I've never seen so many diamonds, or so much purple velvet.
Sunday we went to the British Museum, also very cool, I wandered through Japan, and took a picture of the ancient japanese bling- netsuke.
