Day 18- leaving London



We got up really early, ate breakfast, checked out and left our bags at the hotel. We walked through Buckingham palace grounds again on the hunt for one of the oldest bookstores in London, called Hatchards. It was a bit of a walk to where it's located in Piccadilly. Then we walked even farther to the British Museum. Along the way we were asked for directions again! The walk took forever but the British Museum was nice we saw the Rosetta Stone and parts of the Parthenon. Then took the tube from Convent Gardens to Harrods. Mom wanted something from there and Tisha wanted to stop by there. I never really had a desire to see it before but my mind was quickly changed by being there. They're so nice and have everything! We'd been looking for the Christmas special for Downton Abbey and out of the dozens of bookstores we stopped in they had it at Harrods. I got to say the Brits have a love of books. So many book stores! Even in Harrods. No DVD places but tons of bookstores- I love it here :)

We had lunch at the tea room in Harrods. Delicious!  

Then at 4 pm off to the airport for New York.
