On Day 4, another pub lunch followed by the obligatory double-decker tour bus ride. We hopped on and off the bus a couple times and stretched our tour out over a few hours. The tour was informative, but fast. The guides could have put an auctioneer to shame. I wonder if they are paid per word? We saw Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Notting Hill, Hyde Park, St Pauls, etc. All the tourist spots were covered.
Dinner was at the uber-toursity Sherlock Holmes Pub. Visit the second-floor for the kitschy display of the detective’s drawing room. The “traditional” tour of British gastric delights continued with Bubble and Squeak server by a rather angry German waitress who liked to toss down our plates and mutter under her breath. Despite the service, the food was great! I left a great tip – I was afraid not to!
