Meandering...

Yesterday it was a constant rain all day. But still it was not a heavy rain which is a nice change from Spokane. Since I didn't feel like getting too drenched, as an umbrella only does so much after so long, I decided to make it store and museum day! I started off at Harrod's and wandered through all the different departments. It was rather overwhelming, and I had to leave not long after the perfume department as it was just too much on my nose.
Then I wandered down the street to go to the Natural History Museum. When I got there I was kind of disappointed, not at all what I had been expecting of it, and it had all these weird V&A signs all over, which I thought was an obnoxious way to show patronage and donations. So after wandering through I tried to find the Science Museum which was supposed to be up the street to the East. But when I went east I couldn't find the road! I eventually just ended up at a cafe to get some food and while I was there I pulled out my map to see what I could figure out. Turns out there's a museum called the Victoria and Albert Museum...right BEFORE I would have run into the road I had been looking for. Which meant I had never even made it to the History Museum.
So I turned back around yet again and this time got there for real. And it was an amazing museum! Before I knew it I was being kicked out because they were closing-I had spent 3-4 hours in there. Now I can't wait to go to the science museum which is even more interactive. I was going to go today, but I woke up to sunshine, and decided that meant a walk around day instead.
Thus today became Literary Wanders Day! I started out at Baker Street and hung out in Sherlock Holmes haunts, then I went to King's Cross Station and tried to get to Hogwarts. But alas, Dobby closed platform 9 3/4 on me when I was halfway through. I knew my letter had merely been lost! Then I went to the Globe Theater, and on the way saw the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Then after wandering across the Millennium Bridge to St. Paul's Cathedral I eventually made my way back to the hostel to realize it was only 2! But my legs were tired so I called it a mostly day and just had linner before winding down my day. I think tomorrow I'm going to try to go to Westminster Abbey for a service tomorrow. I looked up when the choir sings and I think that would be pretty amazing to hear.
I found out why my legs have been so restless the last couple days though. I haven't had enough iron, which makes since as I haven't eaten anywhere near my normal red meat diet lately. So I went to buy some alternative iron sources and we'll see if that helps at all. But I think it likely will. Oddly, I'm hoping for a couple more days of rain, so I can see a couple more neat museums without feeling guilty about being indoors the whole time. Whatever happens, I'll just make the most of it! No more photos will be up until my internet connection fixes itself though, as it doesn't stay on long enough to get anything uploaded.
