Up and off after a great sleep. Managed to fall upon the changing of the guard while we were on our way to the NZ War Memorial, which we saw last time and wanted to revisit. As we walked up the rise we were the only ones there, it is like no other memorial – with huge battens, like waratahs and lovely designs and inscriptions in the black steel. Hard to get a good photos because of the color and of the sun’s location. Visited Harrods, as you do and found that this is the fortnight of their once a year sale – crazy busy and of course, had to make a purchase or two, with our last remaining card!
Left there lighter in pocket which is the case over here. Found a great little pub for lunch and Ross enjoyed the bangers and mash: salad and fish fingers for me – but not like we know fish fingers, these were little portions of delicious fish, lightly coated….English food has defintately improved since 4 years ago or maybe we have become more cunning at ordering.
Booked to see “Million Dollar Quartet” for 8pm after walking to Southbank and checking out what was on at the Globe Theatre and finding it was Doctor Fautus – not our thing. Million Dollar Quartet was story of the one night, back on 4.12.1956 that Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash got together, with then Manager , Sam Phillips and had one amazing “jam” session. The music was amazing and all done in a studio type setting. Loved all the songs and by the end of the evening everyone was up dancing and clapping… a great last night in London which we will remember.
