On thursday we started off the day with coffee with Tony. Lovely to see Tony again, had a nice chat over coffee.

From coffee with Tony we went to Madame Tussauds which was amazing! They all look so real, and sometimes you wonder if they are going to jump out at you any second. They also have some exhibition with the serial killers, and madmen of old London. OMG that was so scary. They actually had real actors that would jump out at you and go nuts. It was so scary...

For lunch we went to Harrods and had sushi, from a sushi train. Yummo! Then we went and window shopped in Harrods, and went to the back door and waited for some famous people. Didn't see anyone (we think) just lots of rich people. Lots of brand new Rolls Royces and Bentleys and their chauffeurs. There was one Rolls that the number plate said ROBBII, and we got so excited! For a second until some randoms got out of the car. Unless it was Robbie Williams lovechildren and their nanny, it wasnt anyone famous. Bummer.

We got a real london taxi back to our hotel - what would have been a 10 minute walk cost £13! phew. Probably didnt help it was 4:30 in the arvo.

We then went for a trundle down to Earls court, where Mum lived about 25 years ago. Hasn't changed although it has lost the aussie feel. Lots of indian and malaysian shops around.

That night we went to the musical "we will rock you", we got REALLY cheap tickets at £16 each. How good is that. What a great show! Very entertaining. We were right up the back but you could still see everything. It was fantastic.
