Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

     Today was quite possibly the best day I have had this entire year :) Because we were up until the wee hours of the  morning sorting out the credit card stuff, we all woke up late and despite our best efforts, did not make it into London in time for our 11 am Fat Tire Bike Tour. So, we decided to see where our feet would take us. After passing about ten Cafe Nero's, we decided to stop for a cup of coffee, which we were all in desperate need of. We continued our wanderings and ended up finding lunch in a delightful little Mediterranean restaurant which happened to be right across the street from Covet Garden. After we finished eating, we meandered through the market; I was in heaven! At the stall below, I got the most amazing journal :)


We kept walking and heard a string quartet; I have never seen someone dance while playing the cello! We completed our loop and ended up back in Leicester Square where we stumbled upon a tattoo shop. In the spirit of experiencing new things today, I decided to get my nose pierced!


Ya, it hurt. From there, we decided to give the British Museum another go. On the way, we passed Russell Square and had some fun in the leaves:


After seeing the Rosetta Stone (so cool) and a smattering of nose-less Greek statues, we stopped at a hot dog stand before we headed back to Surbiton. Although it was a bit disappointing missing the bike trip, it was so nice not having an agenda or any obligations and just exploring London for the day. After last night, we definitely needed to do some relaxing and today definitely hit the spot :)
