England Trip - London Sights 2

We started our last day with a visit to Harrods Department Store. I got stressed out with every purchase we made there as the declining US dollar made everything literally cost twice as much as in the states. Rachel still made it out of there with a stuffed animal and a book to call her own.

After Harrods went to the Savoy hotel for afternoon tea. It was extremely expensive, but was the highlight of our trip. We drank excellent tea and ate off never ending plates of sandwiches, desserts and scones. Rachel got lots of attention from the staff who all addressed her as "Miss Rachel" and the pianist played songs just for her.

Our final destination was Kings Cross Station to see Platform 9 3/4 of the Harry Potter books. The marked location wasn't near any platforms at all, but the actual location didn't make technical sense either. A bit of research missed by J. K. Rowling.

The next morning we all went to Heathrow for our flights. I had to sadly leave Jamie and Rachel as they were flying home and I was embarking on the second part of my trip in Egypt.
