We left Atlanta on Monday, February 12, 2007, and arrived in London Tuesday morning. We made it to Earl's Court, where our hotel was located, without any problems. The hotel was not exactly what we expected but it was still pretty good. We got upgraded from just a basic room (which turned out to be so small that the two of us would not have even been able to turn around without hitting each other) to a suite, or actually a complete one bedroom apartment. It even had a full dishwasher in the kitchen and washing machine/dryer combo. It wasn't as nice as the website but was still much better than the room we should have gotten, we were very happy with that arrangement.
Since the first day was only a half day in town and we were a little tired we didn't venture out too far. We were starving since we hadn't had a real meal in over 12 hours, except for airplane food, so we stopped and ate at Zizzy's. This was a very cozy Italian restaurant where we had some wine and lunch and unwound from the travel. We then walked around Earl's Court and ended up at Holland Park. We just walked around the park for a little while, watching all of the owners and their dogs out for walks after work. On our way back down the main street I noticed a movie theater, the Odean, which happened to be playing Musc & Lyrics already. We stopped in and watched the movie before heading back to our room.
We did make a pit stop on the way back by the local grocery store and picked up some snacks for the room. We didn't eat too much that night as we had gorged ourselves at lunch. We had this awesome desert that some would die for. It was a warm belgian waffle topped with bananas, caramel, chocolate, whipped cream, and ice cream. Yummy!!!!
No pics for the day but there will be more on the following days.
