UK and Japan 2010

Maccas for breakfast, rinse and repeat.

Then tubed it out to Camden Town to have a look at the markets.  Didn't actually make it as far as the stables markets, just as far as the lock.

Then wandered back to Leicester Square for lunch.  Went to this Mexican place Stu thought looked interesting the last time (actually the first time, this was our third time to Leicester Square) we were there.  So we sat down outside but noone came.  Started at the windows hoping someone would pay attention to us.  Finally the woman on the door came out and said oh we're not serving outside today.  Fail.  You could have told us that before instead of letting us sit there.  Had some margaritas and some nice nachos, but my caesar salad was probably the worst caesar salad I've ever had - just a bunch of lettuce and a few croutons with a bit of sauce.  There were a couple of token bits of parmesan cheese but no bacon.  Fail fail fail.

So I was grumpy and a bit stressed, because my next destination I was going to by myself and didn't know exactly where it was.

The next destination being the Adelphi theatre for a production of "Love Never Dies" - a sequel to Phantom of the Opera.  It had mixed reviews and I didn't know any of the songs, so I was trying to not to expect too much of it.  In the end I really enjoyed it, even though when I recounted the story to Stu it actually sounded really lame (and I suppose it was).  An encore performance with the whole ensemble at the end would have been nice, as the ending was quite sad and quiet.

Then back to the hotel at peak hour.  In the rain.  Have I ever mentioned how much it rains here?

After resting for a bit, we went back to No 10 Chinese again for dinner (spicy chicken this time, which wasn't too spicy unless you had the dried chilies.

And then repacked our suitcases and tried to mentally prepare for the next 48 hours...
