A quick pint at the pub

Today was another full day out on the streets of London. We walked through the beautiful Hyde Park again, then headed to the British Airways travel clinic where we paid a fortune to stock up on our doxy (doxycycline, our anti-malarials). We could have bought them heaps cheaper in any other country, but we wanted to be sure we were getting the quality we need. Then we had lunch on the steps of the statue in the middle of the round-about in Picadilly Circus, then went to Buckingham Palace (Kel was a bit disappointed here), a quick trip to the British Museum to see the Rosetta Stone in preparation for Egypt (found in 1799 and translated in 1822, allowing us to understand hieroglypics), then went out to Camden to pick up a package we had sent over from home. While in Camden, we got a good idea of what some of the suburbs of London are like, and we made the quick decision that if we were ever to live in London, it wouldn't be in Camden. After a beer or two at a redneck bar, we headed back to Kensington, used the internet for a while and had dinner on our own, as Nigel was working late.
