Being Good Friday London city is packed with tourists, people visiting for the weekend and I couldn't be bothered with it. Instead I went to Westfield Stratford with Michael's housemate, Dan, and got some retail therapy. We passed the Olympic stadium on the way in on the DLR, but the view wasn't too great. I took a photo anyway.
Westfield here is nothing like little old Southland. As well as having clothing stores, this complex has 2 hotels, around 20 restaurants, 3 department stores and a train station. Phew!
I bought a cute pink dress that I'll have to wait to wear until I get home because it is far too cold here. I also got some bathers, don't ask why, that was an even more ridiculous idea!
Day 7, Michael had the day off so we went to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Good old google told me it was a 15 minute walk from St. Paul's train station, but we walked around for what felt like an hour trying to find it because I wasn't sure which direction to head in!
We went through the museum there and it had displays on the original theatre, costumes, special effects, pretty much all aspects of theatre which was really interesting to me, having done theatre studies in VCE.
We had lunch in a place called Pizza Express, which is a million times better than Pizza Cafe in Mildura! Eating the pizza I was inspired to go to Rome, so I'm looking into flights tonight to see if I can work it in!
Have a very happy Easter my loves, hope the Easter bunny visits and you get fat off chocolate! Speak soon x
More please. :D
