20/05/2010 Day 5 – Oxford Street And A Lot Of Walking

After a long and exciting night, we took it easy and had a slow morning. We wanted to see something, so we decided on going to Harrods because that was a must do on all of the girls’ list.

Of course, to get to Harrods, it helps to know where to get off on the tube and which tube line to use. Though we all failed on both of those things, we all found ourselves at Oxford Street. I can’t complain, because Oxford Street is known for it’s shopping. There was an H&M store on every block and the beautiful Topshop that had four floors.

We spent about two and a half hours ogling at all of the amazing things calling to us to buy, but I didn’t give in. Sure, there were plenty of things that I would have totally bought, but I thought that I would definitely come back, especially after I found out what all of the stores had and the super sale in June.

We headed back around 5:30 to get ready for the night, because it was Adam’s birthday. We were all going to a sushi place that Adam found earlier and me and Becky thought it would be great to bring along a cake for him to make it a real birthday celebration.

The night was definitely interesting. We thought that some of the guys knew exactly where we were going, so of course, as girls, we wore awesome heels that were awesomely painful. Walking forever wasn’t added into the outfit equation.

After walking for quite sometime, we went to a pub called The Anchor. It was really cool because it was right on the Thames River and we could see St. Paul’s from the edge.

After dinner and singing Happy Birthday, we spent some time outside the pub talking until it got dark and we headed back. My feet were hurting so badly, I had to walk barefoot. Even though London is the cleanest city I’d ever seen, the bottom of my feet didn’t share the same story. I wasn’t the only one that had to take their shoes off, but it didn’t make it any easier.

After getting back to the apartments, we cut cake and had a bite, but because we were all going to Bath and Stonehenge the next morning (very early in the morning) we went to bed pretty quickly.

'Til tomorrow.
