amazonvSaturday September 19
Woke up, late, rushed out to the dr who experience
got turned around a few times on the way
got there, missed a tour but was allowed on the next one at 10:30
there was a lack of things from the original series but i expect because they were lost, destroyed or reused on other things (as is the BBC way)
but i did enjoy seeing some sets and costumes
the shop was disappointing - not too much interesting merchandise - more fun things online
next went to an art gallery and tea shop http://boundaryart.com/
I got excellent tea, and learned new things about tea, and got to speak with a knowledgeable (Joy) tea person! a lovely time. if you are in the area do stop in
popped back to air bnb to grab my things then off to the train back
napped on the train
I went to Postcard Teas http://www.postcardteas.com/site/
cute shop
beautiful art on tins
haven't tried the osmanthus that i purchased yet
expensive and no sample sizes
couldn't tell if they sold cups of tea
also arrived minutes before closing :(
next went to the blue police box in london! http://www.tripadvisor.ie/Attraction_Review-g186338-d4067788-Reviews-Tardis_Police_Box-London_England.html
Finally took trains and checked into hostel http://www.publove.co.uk/en/Main/Pubs/Exmouth-Arms-Euston.aspx
I was considering going to baker street or the museum but it was late
Dinner in the pub, greasy but good
forced to be social so gave up and went to bed
rooms were small but not bad
the lockers were way to small to keep anything other than purse in
bathroom was shared by everyone on a floor and coed
stairs were narrow and hard to navigate with bunches of luggage
pub food was good, not expensive, and an assortment of drinks
