There are many typical historical tourist attractions in London. We have seen them many times. So we went to some other famous places.
So we started our walk near Hyde Park and went by Wellington’s Arch. Mostly notice the clear blue sky. In London in January this is very unusual. Okay this wasn’t meant to be a highlight of our walk.
Needs no introduction I hope. Harrods is famous and visited by many tourists. But not really a historic site. We really just walked around to compare prices and see what is new. Plenty and very expensive. We bought a few pieces of candy. But the Food Hall was fascinating.
At times our HyVee has a steak called the Cowboy steak. Now Harrod’s has a rack of them. Probably they sell them individually. But the price blows my mind. 110 pounds per kilogram. That is about $140 for 2.2 pounds. Wow!. And next to them is the Japanese Wagyu beef. That was even more expensive at 250 pounds per kilogram. We also saw Alaskan King Crab at 1oo pounds per kilo. Cheese, fruits and bakery goods were also very pretty and expensive.
On to one of my favorite restaurants, Signor Sassi. It is an Italian Restaurant. Kathy ordered a crab and lobster ravioli. I ordered the veal Osso Bucco with saffron risotto. We shared some green beans. Then we shared a pistachio cake for dessert. No lamb on this trip so far.
English weather especially in the winter can’t be trusted. I took no more pictures because it was raining hard. We were soaked before we walked the mile back to our hotel. Again we had walked a bit. More than 10,000 steps.
