Another day, another Harry Potter tour

We started off the day by going back to St. Paul’s.  When we went yesterday it was with the intent of going to the Visitor’s Center, which we had no luck finding.  Armed with directions today, we had better luck.  We picked up more info and ideas for things to do.  All of Bren’s brochures were shows of course.  Then we headed out on a walking adventure.

IMG_0791We came to Millennium Bridge.  After crossing it we realized we were at the Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.  Mind blowing for Bren.  We saw costumes, props and the theatre itself.  We had an awesome tour guide (Bren said she was beautiful).  Aidan was fascinated with all the details she had.

We headed out to meet up with a pre-booked tour- our second Harry Potter Tour through British Movie Tours.  We were driven around by bus to lots of the sites where Harry Potter movies were shot.  Aidan loved this.  Bren fell asleep for part of it!  The tour ended at King’s Cross and the platform at 9 3/4.  It was a bit of a line but a must do.  Side note- Chris did laundry here so Aidan could again wear his Harry Potter shirt.  Best Dad ever!IMG_0819

Chris has been managing all our navigation- maps, buses, trains- everything!  We thought it would be nice to have a special dinner out so Chris (the only fish eater in the family) could have a traditional fish and chip dinner.  Except that most places don’t have kids menus or things these picky eaters will try.  But we found an Italian place (across from an “adult movie store”) that had fish and chips.  It was not a great experience.  They forgot Chris’ food.  We thought it was coming and finished our pizza.  Still no dinner.  Not great service either.  So we will have to try another night.  Chris is a good sport about it all!
