February 6 "Superbowl Sunday!"

Today was our last day in London. L But also the first day in our journey of Zambia! We successfully checked out of our hostel in time and had a major to-do list to complete before arriving at the airport by 4:30. Our first stop was Harrods, the world’s largest department store. This sucker has 7 levels! We just walked through and it was pretty neat, complete with themed rooms, like the Egyptian room. Our next stop was the Globe Theatre, where Shakespeare’s plays were/are performed. And St. Paul’s Cathedral. Next we hopped back on the Tube for Tottenham Court Road. Harry Potter enthusiasts should note that Platform 9 and ¾ was under construction at King’s Cross, and since they mentioned TCR in the most recent movie/book, I thought it was fitting to get some food here and say we did something Harry Potter-like. We then moved on to the infamous Abbey Road and posed for a picture while crossing the street like the Beatles. Grabbing our bags back at our hostel, we made our last stop at Big Ben. It was Superbowl Sunday, so J and I made sure we got a picture in our Packer jerseys in front of Big Ben, just for kicks. A few frustrating struggles with the local Tube later, we arrived at the airport in time for our ten hour flight to Lusaka, Zambia. We watched “The Social Network,” enjoyed a roast beef dinner and wine, finished The Outsiders J, and took a nap before awaking a beautiful sunrise while flying over Africa. We are now 8 hours ahead of you in time.
