Sunday, April 6:
During our first month here, on our first bus ride down Regent Street, we saw a GIANT toy store. I'm talking 5-6 stories high. We've been wanting to check it out ever since. Today was that day.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Hamley's, the oldest and largest toy shop in the world!
 |
| Anyone else think it's weird that the bear is wearing a bearskin hat? |
 |
| Seriously, there should be rules against this. |
 |
| They had millions of (very expensive) Steiff Bears! |
 |
| And look at these little tiny guys. No bigger than an inch tall! |
 |
| Just hanging out with the Royal (Lego) Family. |
 |
| I met HRH Queen Elizabeth II!! Who cares if she's made out of plastic bricks! ;) |
 |
| *poke* |

| Lego Sherlock |
After Hamley's, we popped into a Skate Park, also on Regent Street. You'd never know it was there, unless you were looking for it. Crazy to see these guys flipping around at break-neck speeds.
And finally, we went to the BNY Mellon Boat Race! Evidently, it's a pretty big deal. (Okay, okay. I knew it was a big deal. But, you know me, I couldn't care less about sports.)
When in Rome.... er... the UK.
We'd decided earlier to cheer for Oxford and NOT Cambridge, solely because Chris visited Oxford's campus.
 |
| Go! Go! Go! |
 |
| And Oxford wins!! |
 |
| Poor Cambridge. There's always next year. |
 |
| Confession: I spent the majority of the race playing with this pup. I miss my Tando. |
So, there you have it! The BNY Mellon Boat Race. Exciting, right? ;)
Cheers!
Kami & Chris, the Pseudo-Londoners
