This morning I was up at 9:30, not feeling jet lagged at all so I think I'll be lucky and not get it. Makes me think it's a myth, just like PMS, excuses for antisocial behaviour. Michael cooked scrambled eggs and ham, cheese and tomato croissants for breakfast, and Jesse stopped by to help us eat it.
After that Michael and I got the tube to Oxford Circus. I got my Oyster card, which is the same thing as a myki. I'm so impressed with the public transport in this city, it can't be easy transporting 11 million people around all day.
The shops here are amazing! We went to H&M, Zara Home, Zara and Massimo Dutti, among others. Every store in London is multi storeys high, packed with products and customers! We walked past an Apple Genius Bar and it was at least 2 levels high! I couldn't believe it!
For lunch Michael and I went to a place called C'est Isi which sold sandwiches, cupcakes, that sort of thing. We were asked whether we would like to dine in or takeaway and I automatically said dine in. Michael then informed my in England they have a tax on eating in! It's the silliest thing, so from now on I'll just have to take away and save my money. I had Coke which tasted the same as always. This is strange because I've been told every product tastes different depending on where it is manufactured. Coca Cola is the exception. Awesome, I love Coke!
The buildings in that part of London look much like the buildings in Melbourne that were built around the time of federation. Much of London was bombed during WW2 which is the reason for this, I'm assuming.
It snowed briefly while we were walking around today! Briefly as in I saw about 4 snow flakes, but still, it snowed! I swear I was the only person in London smiling, it's true what they say, London is grey and miserable. No rain yet though! It will probably rain tomorrow when I plan on doing my touristy things, knowing my luck!
Tonight Michael and I are going to see Viva Forever at the theatre. It's the Spice Girls equivalent to Mamma Mia. It should be excellent, a blast from the past!
Until tomorrow, take care.
