    Wednesday morning, I did head down to the dining area and partook of the complementary breakfast. The food there was okay. Nothing too special and pretty much what you would expect. I got some toast, a roll juice, a cappuccino, salami and cheese. Soon, I was heading out to the theater. For this day I would be seeing, the “Harry Potter” show in two parts. This meant that during the afternoon, I would attend part one, and then at night I would attend part two. I had seen the show back in New York City, but over there, they had combined into one production, and I was just really curious about the three hours that had been taken out. I wanted to see it in its entirety.

    During the break, I went over to get some food. I tried out Franco Manco pizza, and tourists take note: it’s a really good deal for food. For about 10 pounds you get an entire pizza, and that’s enough to last me a few meals. There wasn’t much time before I had to return to the theatre to see the second half of the play.

    It didn't disappoint. The show it was fantastic! I had really made a smart choice buying orchestra tickets because it was just so much easier to see what was going on from there. In fact, after the show, I went up to the upper balcony just to see what it was like, and it just didn't seem like it was worth seeing the show at all from that far away.

    I next walked around London to take night photos. I was able to catch some good shots at Trafalgar Square, plus Big Ben as well. I made it over to the Westminster Bridge where I could take my routine shot of the bridge lights and the London eye. Then it was back to the flat to do some blogging and then rest.
