Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!

Today in London the mercury soared to 30 degrees! Who would have thought it would ever get that hot here? So being the cautious, sun safe person that I am, I decided that the safest possible refuge for Stu and I to escape the blistering heat would be a trip to Harrods, Selfridges, Zara (my new favourite shop - like Witchery) and any other shop along Oxford, Regent and Bond Street...

After a few hours pounding the pavements in our new Havaianas*, we wearily headed back to the hotel via the Natural History Museum. What a cool place that is - we could have spent hours in there just wandering round, looking at never ending exhibits -unfortunately our sore, blistered feet had other plans.. so we detoured to the main attractions - the huge skeletons of various dinosaurs and marine mammals.

*For those of you wondering why we bought Havaianas in London, the shoes we set off in had given us such blisters by 10am that we could take no more - only a pair of comfy thongs (flip flops) could save us now! I also had discover yesterday that Havaianas had brought out a moccasin which I desperately wanted to try on! They're the best things every - like wearing slippers in public! Funny thing about this shopping adventure was that I kept having to stop Stu asking for thongs as this is alway met with a horrified gaze! Ha ha...

As the day drew to a close Danny decided it was time to hit up Brick Lane for a Indian dinner! After playing two neighbouring restaurant touters off against each other (is that what you call them - restaurant touters?) we settled on a restaurant called Cinnamon! The deal clincher - 25% discount, free drinks and free poppadums! The food was amazing - definitely chose a winner there Dan - it was almost as good as Punjabi Palace.... ALMOST!
