Today we took the Train to London. We booked seats in advance because we were expecting a full train, but it wasn't too bad. I guess people like to spend time outside London on their days off.
Anyway, we met friends at St Pancras and took a quick tube stop to Oxford / Regent St.
We were told before hand that it would be manic, but it was fairly quiet by London standards. Which was nice.
After a shop at Hamleys toy store, we had a bite to eat, and then walked down to Trafalger Square and the Mall. To say that the walk down to the Mall is awesome is a bit of an understatement. We were a bit rushed for time so didn't take it all in, but we really enjoyed our walk.
We had a look at Buck Palace, but Liz and Phil were out so didn't get to have tea with them. By comparison to the other architechture in the Mall, Buckingham Palace is looking a little tired to be honest. English understatement and humility at it's best.
We then walked down to Harrods, which was manic. Last minute Easter shopping I think. I bought a couple of Easter Eggs and we got out fast. We will return when it's a little more buggy friendly.
While we were waiting to cross the street to go into Harrods, there was a Ferrari 430, Lamborghini Gallardo and Aston Martin DB9 waiting at the same round about. Bit flasher than Timaru of a Saturday!
We had afternoon tea at Harvey Nichols which is famous apparently and then took the tube back to St Pancras. The tube was horrible. Each carriage was absolutely crammed with people. Absolutely no personal space, and Madison was starring at about 50 knee caps. She didn't seem to mind too much all the same, but we weren't that keen.
Once off the tram we strolled down to St Pancras and got on the train to home. Good day.

Hello!
Why do you call your blog "OE GeekStyle"? I don't get it. Why should you be a geek? Are you trying to say you are the type of person who thoroughly reads the instructions for an unfamiliar product before attempting to use it rather than plugging everything in back to front and spending an afternoon swearing and trying to decypher the Swedish/Finnish page that somehow got substituted for the English after you despairingly hit the bottle ..? O. How's THAT for getting carried away! I found your site with a random hop, skip and jump via that random "next blog" button. I do a blog too. You must drop by! It's called Gledwood Vol 2 & is at gledwood2.blogspot. You'll surely find it very entertaining. It is my secret diary online and my life is probably exceedingly different to yours but don't let that put you off. Looking forward to seeing you there! All the very best 2u
