Again I will walk across Hyde Park.
Along a different path from yesterday, I am confused which way to go. I am now at the other end of the park and I know I am close so I see two uniformed men carrying assault rifles and I ask them. Sure enough they gave me directions. I was only a couple of blocks away.
I have worked up an appetite and remember that there is a Lauduree next to Harrods. It was my favorite tea room when I was in Paris and so I have a raspberry tart there before starting to shop where I left off yesterday.
I find a few more things to take home before lunchtime. By now it has started to rain. I brought an umbrella from home but of course it is back in the hotel. OH WELL!
After lunch at the Georgian I return to the Ice Cream place and order 3 mini cones. One is vanilla,one chocolate, and one strawberry. Two college girls at the counter with me want to be my new friends.
Before going back to the hotel I visit the in-store ticket agency and order tickets to The Mousetrap- a play by Agatha Christie playing at St. Martin's Theater on West Street for tonight's show. I am lucky to find my seat is in the second row and no one shows up in front of me. People next to me are from San Francisco. The play is wonderful but the theatre is also fabulous. A small theater but exquisite in red velvet draperies and charm, it was the perfect end to my last night. My taxi is waiting for me in the rain and we pass Buckingham Palace on the way back to the Blakemore.
Next stop- LAX.
