Mamma Mia! Taking it easy on my 6th day there

London Voyage - Wednesday, October 9, 2002

By now, my feet were dying. Especially my right one. I had gotten a blister on the bottom of it, so I started walking on the right side of that foot, causing my ankle to get sore and for my right foot to rub raw against my shoe. Oh the joy. So walking wasn't pleasant for me anymore. But I walked anyways, because hey, you're not in London everyday now, are you? So we went to Notting Hill in search of anything recognizable from the movie. We found the main shopping street, I don't know how, but we did. Also managed to find a tube station to get out of there, as we also discovered the edge of the ghetto. Then we headed to the British Museum, home to a great collection of all sorts of antiquities from around the world, but namely the home of the Rosetta Stone. We took a London Walk tour of the museum. While it wasn't exactly as thrilling as the other walks (namely because our guide wasn't all that excited to be there - poor Molly), it was cool to see all the stuff they had. Afterwards, we went to the Tower Bridge to take some pictures and then we walked (again) along the Thames looking for dinner. Alas, never found anythign but eventually a tube station which we took to the West End. Where for me, the highlight of the day went to seeing Mamma Mia! What an incredible show, especially at 3rd row stage right! It's set to ABBA songs and is just a blast to watch. The end was probably the best for me, as Waterloo was finally performed. I had been disappointed to see the song list and find it was not there. :-( But the encore had it. Woo hoo! Note: I stole some of the Mamma Mia pictures from Al.
