day four: london

Today we got up earlier than normal since we had a LOT of walking and window shopping on our itinerary.

• We take the Piccadilly line train to Green Park since underground line all the way to Knigthsbridge was out of service.
• We walked past Hyde Park and had breakfast in a patisserie - quiche for me and a pastry and tea for Robin.
  
• Harrod's of London = Wow + Oh my gosh x Merry Christmas. The food halls are amazing and the most crowded part of this London institution. We are now kicking ourselves for not waiting a little longer to eat. If we get a chance top take Shawn, Anna, and Reid back there, we will.
• We walked to Sloane Square and window-shopped quite a bit as we headed down Kings Road into Chelsea.
• Next, we tubed back up to Leicester Square for lunch in Soho.
• I got us a little lost so we popped into a pub to get "oriented". A half-pint each was all it took and we were on our way.
  
• Walking through Soho, we found Red Veg, which is basically a vegetarian McDonalds with veggie junk food. I had the Chili Veg burger, and Robin had the Hickory Veg burger. She isn't a fan of BBQ sauce so we switched and I was just as happy.
  
• A little more walking and then we had a second lunch of dim sum in Chinatown.
• From Chinatown we walked up to Oxford Street for more window shopping then back to hotel.
• For our last night on our first stop in London we decide to hit an all-vegetarian Indian restaurant in Bloomsbury for dinner. We had high hopes, but we found the dishes to still be quite bland :-( The gulab jamun was still awesome.
  
• Back at the hotel, we packed for Paris.
