Sight seeing, bar hopping etc...

Today we had a lot of fun. We started the day with some shopping in "Oasis". Since it was not in the planning and we didn't want to lose any shopping bags...ahum, we decided to go to the hotel to put the bags in the room. After that we took our Sign seeing touring bus to "Trafalgar Square". We just walked around there and took some pics. Then we headed to Picadilly Circus to get some information about where London Chinatown was. At Picadilly Circus and Chinatown we did some walking and then we had delicious Dim Sum. Since we didn't know what to do next, we took the Touring Bus to "Harrods". No no, not to do some shopping, but just window sopping ;-). When we got off the bus there were so much shops in the neighbourhood that we start entering them en when we finally arrived at Harrods it was closed. I'm not sure if I need to say "unfortunately", because since I know myself and If I would see nice shoes or bags in there and it's VERY expensive I would probably think about it...ahum or just buy it, so now we were forced to just do window shopping :-).
So our next stop was the ICE BAR LONDON. We read somwehere about this bar fully made of ICE, so we were curious about it. When we arrived there they asked us if we did have a reservation. Since this was not case we needed to wait like 1 and a half hour to enter the ICE Bar. Lucky us we met some guys in the "waiting bar" that did have a reservation for 8 people. Since 2 of them were not coming we could enter the bar with them. What can I say, it was extremely COLD in there, but a crazy experience. It was minus 5 in there. At the entrance they gave us some capes to keep our body warm. We stayed there like 45 minutes and then we went to a warmer place..the restaurant downstairs. We hanged a few hours with those guys we met and they asked us to join them at the "Cheers" bar to eat something. Like 10.30 pm Liz and I decided to leave, because we were really tired and as you guys know I need to work tomorrow. Anyway enjoy the pics and I think I will be updating my blog again next weekend when Leidy is here.
