Kerry and Craig were in London over the weekend so we met up on Saturday for some Christmas tourism. They (well, Kerry) were looking for a sparkly angel Christmas Tree topper. So we tried to get to Harrods. Our navigation skills were questionable (we blamed a dodgy app) and we ended up in Carnaby (totally the wrong direction). But we did find choccywoccydoodah cafe and shop. The cafe was booked out but the shop was very cool.
We tried some of the cake and surprisingly it wasn't the best. I guess you go for the chocolate which was really impressive. After a sit down and a drink, we started some shopping. All window shopping but it was pretty.

We eventually found Harrods. However London seems to have sold out of tree toppers. :( We tried Harvey Nichols later as well with the same amount of success.

So we started walking again. We wouldn't have had to walk so much but the tubes were ridiculous. You would think a weekend so close to Christmas they would stop playing around with the tube lines. But no.
We also tried to get Craig to try ice skating but he was not keen. Maybe next year.

It took a while but we made our way to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. It was rammed and just worse. Very pretty but mostly fair ground. I has hoping for more stalls.

We did manage to get into one of the revolving bars.

However some bits, mostly the Bavarian village, were very strange.

We gave up early when it started raining. And started walking again. We finally found a tube station that was open. And somewhere to have a drink. It was outside, under an awning but it was fairly dry and we could sit down. I did over 21,000 steps. My feet hurt. But worth it. Lovely day. :)
