Hi hunny,
How are you doin, Liv ? I wanna continue my story of our trip to London. On the third day we were in London, we were planning to use tube the whole day to go to anywhere inLondon. We were planning of going to some places that we missed yesterday. Our London’s Big Bus tour ticket is still valid till today, so we still can use the bus to go around the city. Wa ibu was going with us. Early in the morning we have planned where to go first, then next, then next, because we wanted to maximize our time in London. We bought day pass tube ticket so we can go on and off the tube whenever we want and wherever we want.. Our first destination was Maddame Tussaud. We already bought the ticket for 17 Pounds each yesterday when we bought the Big Bus ticket. We got off in the Baker Street station and just walked from the station to M.Tussaud which is located only about 25 meters from that station. Wa ibu bought the ticket for the most popular touris attraction in London (so that the ticket sellers said yesterday) in the ticket counter for 30 pounds (almost Rp 600 thousand !!). Good thing we have bought the tickets in Big Bus with discounted price. We have heard that anything in London is very expensive but I don’t have any clue, that it’s not only expensive,… it’s VERY expensive… We were in Maddame Tussaud for about one hour and half. Then we went to the biggest toy store in London, Hemley’s which is located in Regent Street. We didn’t buy anything there for three reasons, 1) again, it’s very expensive prices, 2) almost anything there we can easily find in Jakarta or
Singapore at worse, 3) we still have to go to Paris and we didn’t want to carry too many things on the way there, especially knowing that we are taking train tomorrow. Wa ibu went home straight from the toy store since she has to pick up Laras and fadhlan from the school in the afternoon. Mommy and daddy continued our journey on another worse rainy and cold London weather. We went back to Oxford street station to go to Harrods (the most famous Shopping center owned by Dodi Al Fayed). Again, everything there was very very expensive. Almost all the brands are available in Indonesia, although the collection was more complete. We only bought some toys for Adelle and Aliyya. The Christmas spirit has started to be felt there in Harrods. A lot of people seems doing Christmas shopping already. Anyway, at least we got off the stores with some big shopping bags from Harrods in our hands. Feel like rich people… ha ha ha…We then took tube to go to Piccadilly Circus station. Mommy wanted to have lunch and I remember there are some restaurant near Leicester square, at least there is KFC (which we had dinner on the first night). Innitially, we were going to have steak for lunch, but after considering 50 Pounds steak per person, we felt that it’s just not worth it to have it (beside mommy wanted rice already… dasar orang melayu ya nggak berasa makan kalo nggak ada nasi). So, we ended up having lunch in Chinese restaurant nearby. Mommy ordered peking duck, while I ordered prime ribs. Turn out the portion is so huge that we couldn’t eat it all… and the prime rib that I ordered apparently was pork !! It was the second time we ordered pork and ended up wasting it !! We took the left over home. After having the lunch we continued browsing along Regent Street up to Oxford street. Stop in some of the stores along the way but again the prices stopped us from buying anything. We went all the way down the Oxford street toward Marks Spencer’s biggest store in the world (so they say…) we stopped by in Disney’s Store… It’s a paradise for little kids.. you would have loved it, liv !! All the princesses costumes were there…. I really like a costume of a new movie called “Enchanted”.. but it costs 125 pounds (2,5 million rupiah for a costumes ??? hhmmm, I don’t think so). Despite our drool on the stuffs there but because it’s outrageous price, we only bought some High School Musical stuffs. They are still expensive… but we figured Adelle and Aliyya would love them (your sisters really love High School Musical and all merchandise about it). We went home at 18.30, after too much of walking and not enough of shopping… hik hik hik…..London is very expensive city, Liv (payah ya kalau jadi turis kere kayak mommy & ayah… he he he…)…. But I like it anyway.. Wish you were here with us liv, visiting your bestest buddy, laras… tomorrow we are gonna go to Paris...
Lots of loves ayah dicky
