Independent Travel part 1

So, the academic component of the trip is officially over. People have said their goodbyes, Ned and I had to move 3 floors up into a sketchy room, and the independent travel portion of the trip has started. A quick recap:
Friday-With a pretty large number of folks still around, not much seemed different on Friday. A group of us to see Casino Royale, which is the very first Bond movie I've ever seen...I liked it quite a lot. I can explain why if you're curious-but just know that it rocked hard. A pretty chill round of Texas Hold em followed, and I had what I would later discover to be the last night in my hotel room.
Saturday-Instead of simply extending my stay in my room, Ned and I had to move several floors up, which wouldn't have been a problem if I didn't have the souvenirs I was mailing and books I was donating sitting in the room-not to mention the cans of coke, bottle of bailey's and other foodstuffs...a hassle. Then it was post office to lunch to oxfam (charity shop) to hotel...then Ned and I got dinner and met up with Amanda and her sister-AWESOME! It was VERY refreshing to see new faces and hang out with really awesome folks...all in all a successful day.
Sunday-Got off to a slow start, since we were meeting Nort and his sister for lunch, and hairdryer misdemeanors caused a delay. We went to Harrod's for lunch...photos of the most expensive meal I've ever eaten coming soon. But go big or go home as they say. Then Ned and I explored Harrod's, I got in trouble for trying to take a picture of the 22000 dollar watch (I'm not making that up), and then we went to the Victoria Albert Museum, which was pretty cool, followed by a viewing of the animatronic dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum. A trip to the arcade was followed by a screening of the Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D, and so the 3rd ended as a success. Anywho-more pictures and details soon!
