One weekend Randy and I stayed at the Brown Motel in Blackheath, near London. We got a taxi downtown to take us to London, and our taxi driver told us that Blackheath was build over mass graves of plague victims. Not comforting, but interesting. We met up with Mike and Martina; by this time Randy was quite blond from sunbathing every day.
Our first stop was Harrods. It's a grand old store where you really can get almost everything, but what made it stick in my memory is that you have to pay a pound to use the toilet here.
Next we went to Tower Bridge and walked through the museum downstairs, where they keep the Crown Jewels. No matter how many times we went to Tower Bridge, I always loved it. Wish they would let me take pictures of the Crown Jewels, but somehow they didn't think that was a good idea.
We went to Coventry Gardens to do a little more shopping,
and then had dinner at London's Hard Rock Cafe, where they serve good burger and fries and reasonable prices.
