It was a bit chilly out today as I headed to Wyndham Theatre to try to win a ticket to see 'Much Ado About Nothing' in a raffle. I freaking won! So exciting! After that was done, I continued with my day--on to the Courtauld Gallery for some more art. After that I got lost and wandered a bit too far. I may be the only person who was confused for a whole 10 minutes and thought Westminster Abbey was Buckingham Palace. It might have been the throngs of people in the area or blamed on extreme hunger by that point. Made it to my original destination--Tate Britain where I had a delicious lunch of chicken, green beans and roasted potatoes all for under £8.
Later that night before going to see the show I went to Harrods which is like the Macy's and Bloomingdale's of NYC. I don't know what I was thinking. There were so many tourists I thought I was going to kill someone. Somehow I got turned around while in there and ending up coming out the opposite way and walked in the wrong direction. Walked 10 minutes before realizing it. I was not happy. And then it started raining again. Shocker. And then I almost got hit by a double decker bus because in my confusion I forgot they drive on the other side of the road. We were going downhill fast.
Ate my final fish and chip meal at The Salisbury near the theatre and then while walking got asked for directions again. Another point for Natasha. First of all, my seat was 3rd row from the stage in a tiny theatre. Second of all, I almost died when I saw David Tennant. Him and Catherine Tate were amazing. The show was amazing. I even got to see David cross dress...he wore lace leggings and a very short jean skirt and make up. I almost died. And then he sat down in front of me on stage with his legs open while wearing the skirt. If I was writing an official review, that would totally sway my opinion of the show, thank you very much. It was so nice to see a bunch of people love what they do and have fun doing what they do. You can really tell that they all got along and it translated to the audience. I love when that happens. I want to sear what I witnessed into my memory. But like most things, it will fade with time. Silly time.
Great end to my last night in London.
big sigh. <3
