So today was a great day. We had class in the morning, not so much fun for Friday. On the way home some friends and I stopped at a cupcake shop called Candy Cakes and got just about the best cupcake I think I've ever had. Then went back to the flats, had a bit more of a proper lunch then headed off for Harrods department store. Holy crap. Harrods is probably the most amazing ridiculous store I think I've ever been in. It is a WalMart for rich people. We first started in the food hall. I was actually shocked on how reasonable everything was there. I think we spent about two hours walking around and looking at all the incredible foods. They had everything. Sushi, cheeses, meats, deli meats, chocolates, tea, coffee, fresh vegetables, and just about everything else you can imagine.

The store had a main bank of elevators called the Egyptian Escalators. In this part there was absolutely beautiful music, which at first I thought was from a recording. Wrong. In this hall there were multiple balconies on each floor with manicans dressed looking over the shoppers. Except on one balcony there was a women, dressed from head to toe in clothes from Harrods, who was singing to the shoppers in the elevators. It was amazing. I think I could have just rode up and down the elevators all day with food I bought in the food hall and been happy.

We then decided to walk back from Harrods to the flats, which are both on complete opposite sides of town. The beauty with walking here though, is you see so much you would miss on a bus or tube wherever you go. We decided to go by Buckingham palace. It was incredible to see this regal building at night. We defeinitely played tourist because we were so engulfed with the beauty of this building and the view of Big Ben when you're looking away from the main gate. It was simply incredible.

Okay, I have to cut this short cause I'm about to leave for Victoria Station to catch a train to Dover. I'm off to see the castle there and the cliffs with some friends.
