London, Day 3

Woke up, ate breakfast, spent half the day in the British Museum. We shopped a bit too. Didn't dare to look at most of the books, or I would still be longing after half of them. Have I mentioned how bloody expensive London is? Well, it is.
Then we went back to King's Cross, and Kriszta drank her coffee while I switched my bag for a bigger one at the hotel... and ditched my coat... or was it in the morning? I dunno.

Anyway. After that we met up with Satrio and went to a second hand book shop, where I promptly had to stop myself from buying half of the store. I bought 9 books, one of them will be Kriszta's Christmas gift. She has been longing for it for ages. I bought myself another few Pratchett books, a manga I fell in love with after reading it, some myth books (one Ireland oriented and one Faery oriented), some kind of "magic" book, which gives off a new age feeling (at least I'll have a good laugh), and other thingies. I'm so sorry that we left that occult book behind... well, never mind. Kriszta had a field day with the books she found.

Then we walked around, and went down Portobello Road. The shops were mostly closed, which was a pity. Then we went into a little umm...pub thingy, which is currently my favorite in London. It looked like a tropical island inside, full with palm trees and a colorful parrot kind of bird. I loved it. Had a lovely talk with Satrio, and I actually found the female side of the toilets first. (Long story, but once I found the wrong door, went in, was empty, couldn't be bothered to find the female one, and nobody was in... so it was ok... ^^ Kriszta had a laugh, tho.)

After that we went back to the tube station with Satrio, then went to the Hyde Park. Had a wonderful drenching (it was raining) at the Hyde Park by night, then went back to the tube station, got to Oxford Circus, walked around a bit, shopped around a bit, then went home, utterly tired.
Ate, showered, slept.
