London Day 4 - Crazy for You

As I recall, today was a touring & theatre day. We walked over the London Bridge to the Tower of London, then all the way to Hyde Park where we saw people on horseback. I took a pic of them, Peter took a pic of the horse “deposits.”

From there, Peter, not being impressed with my tattered scarf, decided he wanted to buy me a Liberty scarf at Harrods. Alas, Harrods no longer exists - it’s now Prada so we had to find our way to Liberty. We wandered in briefly, but I was overwhelmed with the prices - scarves were £120 x 320. There was no way I could justify that . . . . .

For lunch we popped into a tiny Vietnamese restaurant. The food was good - and cheap compared to most places.

The highlight of the day was Crazy for You. Michael, our new best friend, joined us. I’d told him we’d be in the front row, so he purchased a ticket next to us. Although he’d been there 3 times before, he said he’d never had the nerve to be in the front row - too intense. We all loved it - amazing dancing, amusing dialogue and catchy tunes.

After the show he suggested a pub nearby. To our luck the lead actor, Charlie Stemp, was there. I didn’t want to be too much of a paparazzi so resisted taking pics. I did go, though, and tell him how impressed I was. YIKES. He looked about 16, but turns out he’s 29. What a talent.Read more
