Day 18- Last full day in London

We had one more full day left to explore London, so we got up early to try to make the most of it. Our first stop was the half price tickets booth in Leicester Square. We were torn between seeing the musical Wicked, or We Will Rock You. I thought that We Will Rock You would be s better fit for both if us, as we both like the music of Queen.

Next, we went to see 221b Baker Street to see the fictional residence of Sherlock Holmes. Liam had what we calls a "Mona Lisa Moment" wherein he arrives at an attraction realizes that in his vision of visiting said attraction he forgets to factor in the hordes of other tourists. Needless to say we zipped up and down the three floored Victorian house quite quickly.

Next we popped in the Globe theatre. We had also visited the Globe the last time we were in London, but enjoyed in immensely, and decided to give it a revisit. Once again we throw ought enjoyed our tour, and I did some shopping damage in the gift shop, because really, there's nothing more stylish that a blood covered 'out damned spot t- shirt'!

Following our tour of the Globe, we wandered over the mile noun foot bridge and into the Tate Art Museum, where it didn't take long for Liam and I to realize that we aren't really art gallery people. So, we found a Starbucks near the St. Paul'a Cathedral, did some people watching and headed back to the room to up before going to the threaten that night.

That evening Liam and I thoroughly enjoyed watching ' We Will Rock You'. It'a not often you view a musical set in the future, and I enjoyed the surprise of watching various Queen songs being integrated into the plot line. Our half price tickets were great seats, and Liam and think we may have a London Theater trip in our future.

All in all a great two days in London, but I miss my cats and my bed. I don't look forward to the 20 hr travel day that tomorrow holds, but I know I have a soft bed, loving cats, a massage a and a pedicure appoint awaiting me a at home.
