London Day 2

Mandy:


Today we went to London's chinatown to have a late afternoon dim sum. Surprisingly there was a long line up and even more surprising was that the food was pretty good! For the price we paid... I'm glad it was good. Ha gow was £3!

On our way to dim sum we stumbled upon a Hare Krishna (Indian parade). People were lined up to pull a float across a street.

After dim sum we made our way to the LSE campus. It's a lot smaller than te UofT campus but it definitely has a different old European architecture feel.

Then we went to Oxford street to do a little shopping. Unfortunately all the stores close at 6pm on Sunday's :( Fortunately we were hungry and Chef Gordon Ramsay's Maze restaurant was just around the corner. The restaurant definitely deserves its one Michelin star rating. It was one of the most delicious meals I've ever had! Norm and I each had a four course tasting menu with a trio of wine tasting. The highlight of the meal was the sea bass ceviche (I didn't even get sick after!).

After a quick rest at home we went on a walk to see the London Eye and the Big Ben. I'm so glad Norm's place is a walking distance to all the attractions.

That's it for now!
