We started the day\nby going out in search of a towel. We had both dyed our hair before\nleaving and Victoria worried about leaving dye on the Airbnb towels,\nso we hit up a Primark. Victoria\u2019s friend who works as a flight\nattendant had said it was a good place to get supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a quick\ncoffee at Cafe Nero and headed over to the mall to find the towel.\nThere was a small market outside made of vendors in tents. Inside it\nwas… a typical mall. We found a towel and a few more odd bits and\nbobs inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We picked up some\napples from the outdoor market and tried Windsor apples for the first\ntime. They are pretty good! Very juicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a short pause\nin the hotel to write yesterday\u2019s blog, we headed out toward\nLeicester Square on the Picadilly line. This train seemed to be one\nof the trains which exemplify, \u201cMind the gap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the trains\nare at a different height from the platform, enough to be a\nsignificant step down when entering the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a lot to\nsee at Leicester Square. We hit up Chinatown by accident, with the\nintent of getting some fried chicken at Good Friend. It turned out to\nbe Taiwanese, and delicious popcorn chicken as well! We drank bubble\ntea and wandered the street for a short time on a roughly direct path\ntoward the British Museum, stopping only to check out a comic book\nstore (\u201cForbidden Planet\u201d) on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
