Becc cooked an amazing breakfast.....eggs, mushies & bacon, very tasty have missed this type of breakfast, if felt like I was back home. Today was the day we hit the shops in London City to spend time & money looking for clothes for me & especially purchasing a couple of beautiful dresses. Walked into the Oxford Area where all the great shops are, walked into our first shop & spent my time buying a coat, a few tops & a pair of jeans, very cool. Next, went into a shop called French Connection.....had fabulous dresses everywhere, tried on around 6 different dresses, ended up asking Jase for his advice, nice to have a male opinion. Brought two very different but stunning dresses, now cant wait to wear them. Had shopped for a couple of hours, time for a champagne & cheese platter in Soho. Found a small French Wine Bar, sat & drank, ate, talked & soaked up the atmosphere.
Time was going so quick, it was now time to get ready for our High Tea at the Ritz Hotel. We had brought a suitcase on wheels with us into London full of our clothes for tonight. Jase went to
the Hilton Hotel & got them to hold the suitcase for us in the bag room. Jase just talked his way into getting the Porter to take care of the suitcase until we return from shopping. When we arrived at the Hilton Hotel, we were a little bit happy from our champagne, Becc & I waited in the foyer for Jase to go and weave his magic at the front counter.......The Porter took Becc & I & our suitcase up to the Gym change rooms where we were going to get dressed in our fancy clothes ready to go out in London....this was very funny, we were not even staying at the hotel but we managed to get ready here for free.......Way to go Jase.
Becc & I choose to wear our new dresses we had purchased earlier on in the day so we looked very stunning. Walked straight out of the Hilton Hotel, the Porters hailed a taxi & we were off to High Tea at the Ritz Hotel. Every door was opened for us as we arrived, felt quite nice to have this type of service. Lined up to wait to be seated at our table. Got
to our table & this was fabulous, small sandwiches, little sweets, cakes & of course scones with jam & cream. We sat & ate & enjoyed our English Tea, this was an amazing experience, we throughly loved the High Tea .
Left the Ritz & took a taxi to the theatre to watch the stage show of "We Will Rock You", well what can I say about this production.....outstanding. Every moment of this show was sensational did not want it to end. Right at the end, we all stood up & danced with our glow sticks. What a great night out in London Town, was feeling on a high straight after this show. We didnt go home, went to a pub & drank pints & danced until early hours of the morning..........Felt very ordinary the next morning, but I had an amazing last day in London that I will never forget.......Well Done, would love to come back here & explore some more, lets hope so!!!!

What a great day in London- sounds like you packed so much into it and managed to pick some of the best London experiences. Of course i am a little biased though- I loved living in London and summer is a great time to be there. Apart from the history and everything else there is to see, the shopping is fabulous (especially the shoes)! I'm looking forward to catching up and sharing a champagne with you!
