Weather wasn't looking too promising so Dad and Danny decided to take a break and hang out at the hotel today. Mom and I headed down to Harrods (about a 20 min walk) just to have a look ;) I saw the most awesome Missoni swimsuit cover up - would be perfect with my new suit. At €475 however, it wasn't looking quite so perfect anymore. Checked out the champagne bar but it wasn't open. What do you MEAN there's no champagne at 10:30 a.m.? Haha We wandered through several departments and just a few of the 7 floors. They have tons of clerks around - all dressed very sharply, holding their hands either in front or back, quick to smile at you and very attentive... Get a little too close to the merchandise though and suddenly they're your shadow "Would you like some help?". "Do you have any questions?" Sheesh - really felt like they were doing double duty as store security or something. Or maybe they were just really bored and hoping they finally had someone who might actually make a purchase?
Shopping in London is pretty fabulous though... Wish we had even a quarter of the selection this city has. People on the street - both men and women - are very well dressed. Us tourists, not so much, lol.
Weather continues to be a lot like Vancouver, fabulous when the sun's out but usually pretty gray.
