Monday February 17, 2003 - Getting lost somewhere in Chelsea
Enjoyed the Georgian House Hotel "Full English Breakfast" that is included in the price. It consisted of:
It was a sunny, but darn cold day (it was
windy too). Went past the venue where London Fashion week was being
held that week, past Harrod's (wasn't opened yet). By 10:00 am I
was at the Victoria and Albert museum.. still don't know how I ended up
there, but as I was cold, and tired, I 
decided
to head in and look around. After taking a break at the V&A,
I brave the cold once again, and headed north toward Hyde Park, walk along
th south end of it, and headed to Kensington Palace (former home of Princess
Diana, childhood home of Queen Victoria). There was an exhibit of
Royal customs, including the royal wedding dresses of Queen Victoria, up
till Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Victoria must have been REALLY tiny
from the look of her wedding dress. There were also some of
Princess Diana's dresses on display.
After Kensington Palace, I headed up to Notting Hill, stopping by an indian resaturant along the way to grab a late lunch. My feet was absolutely killing me by this time, so I staggered back to the tube. Did some email at the EasyEverything at Victoria station.
Headed out at night to take some shots
of Big Ben, and the Westminister area, my feet hurt enough that I had to
take the tube back to Victoria from Westminister.
Example of budget:
1.60 GBP Zone 1 tube ticket
0.72 GBP 500 ml Fanta
3.30 GBP Chicken Masala takeaway
