Chips and Opera

| No Comments

It's amazing how concentrated the major spots are in London. For example: Trafalgar Square borders Whitehall. You can walk from the Halls of Parliament to Trafalgar in 10 minutes.

I had lunch at a pub directly across the street from the Royal Horse Troops. One block up was that overpriced pizza buffet from the other day. Wah! Cod and chips and a pint of chilled Guinness. Neat. But �9.74? Sheesh.

Convent Garden and the Royal Opera House are also nearby. A 5 minute stroll. Why does it look so far on the map?

So I strolled over and checked out the Opera House. Nice. But sold out for tonight's performance. Bummer. They even sell the standing room tix as regular assigned seating. So no rush. And the prices! �100 for a single seat? And that's not even in the expensive section!!

No chance in catching these guys in rehearsal...
