Saturday, April 26th - Going back to Kuwait

We spent part of the day walking along the Thames River. It was very busy but it's easy to understand why there were so many people; there is so much to do and it is such a nice place to walk. We left for the airport shortly after 6 pm. Our flight leaves at 10h30 pm (00h30 Kuwait time) and lands at 6h35 am (if it's on time); I am planning on going directly from the airport to school while Jacqui will go by the apartment to drop off the suitcases before going to school. Not sure how that will work out!

So good!

It's a long walk!

We'll miss you!

Friday, April 25th - Camden Market

Friday was a quiet day. We spent most of it at Camden Market - a really cool place. They had something for everyone, and for every style. The architecture was also interesting and the food market along the river was something to see.

Wonder what they sell?

Not as pricy as Harrods!

Something for everyone

Thursday, April 24th - Harrods and Les Miserables

It was kind of nice to sleep in this morning, as we did not have anything scheduled until the evening. We had a late breakfast then went out to Harrods - 5 floors of shopping (this could be heaven or this could be hell) where we probably can't afford to buy anything! Some of the prices were completely ridiculous, but the place was pretty busy and some people were buying stuff.

We had an early dinner in Soho, close to the Queens theatre, where we were going to see Les Miserables. Our seats were in the second row, but since it's a pretty small theatre, being close was not a problem for getting the overall view of the performance. We could touch the stage by stretching a bit, and we could see inside the orchestra pit by standing up. The performers were about 10 feet away from us when they were at the front of the stage. It was a great performance, which we always enjoy - great music, great voices, great everything!

Say cheese!

Looks very nice! (for 1490 pounds - a little less than $3000)
