After getting a semi decent night of rest after trudging our
way to our hostel at two in the morning in London, we were ready to explore.
However, it wasn’t the typical London sightseeing because we had already seen
all of that our last trip to London. No, this was a girl kind of day and we
were excited. We were going to go and see the shopping stores that people
couldn’t stop talking about- Harrods and Kara Harvey.
We walked through Kensington Park, looked at Kensington
Palace (we were too cheap to actually buy tickets to tour the place) and rented
bikes for half an hour until we finally made it to our destination.
Now you may be thinking how ridiculous it was of us to go to
London and go shopping when not only are there way more magnificent sights in
London but we are two broke girls with absolutely no cash. And yes that all
sounds about right, but then if you actually went to Harrods you would probably
beg to differ. Harrods is an absolute spetactical. Not only because it is
Christmas, but this store was basically like a shopping museum or a “Disney
World” for adults. It had absolutely everything and anything you would want.
Every floor was a maze of the best designer fashions, décor, and the like. It
was absolutely incredible and both of us could not stop gawking at what we saw.
Although we could probably not even afford the toilet paper that we used in
Harrods, we decided to splurge and at least have tea time because that is what
the English do. Our waitress brought us out five little delicious desserts and
hot vanilla tea. It was perfect. By this time our feet were also killing us
from walking all day, so we sat for hours just conversing over our teacups. To
end the night, we walked through a Winter Wonderland festival in the park,
listening to Rockabilly music for a little bit and then hustled back through
the dark and foggy park, where the light was literally flickering and Kristen’s
arm almost fell off because Brittany was clenching it so hard. Luckily we made
it back to our hostel and fell asleep in seconds after a long day of shopping, or more so watching other people shop.
