That’s a direct quote from the weather girl this morning. While it did rain, I think she was being a bit dramatic. We were up early in Hyde Park and the birds were there to greet us.
We visited the famous Harrods department store which is a surreal place with its mad (but stylish) decor – such as the Egyptian escalators – and items that only the insanely rich could afford. For instance take this Faberge egg:
It’s yours for a mere £500,000! And that doesn’t even include the ring, which cost an additional £152,000! If I had that money I reckon I’d spend it on something more houselike!
It rained most of the day, and we pottered around the Soho area doing a bit of shopping. Eventually the rain grew heavy enough we snuck into a pub for lunch…
And then visited the National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square.
Afterwards, a bit more shopping…
And then back to the hotel to die a little after four very long and busy days! We need a vacation!
Good thing we’re heading to the seaside tomorrow 🙂
