Jasper Slapped: Day 11

Today we finally got to sleep in! If you call sleeping till 8:30 sleeping in, such a change from my earlier summer sleep schedule. This morning a big group of us headed to the south bank for a bike tour. This may sound like a really cool idea but by then end at least Meggan and I were regretting it. It was a cool way to see a lot of London and coasting down hill and through the park by Buckingham palace was fun but after awhile riding hurt and there were a few close calls with people and cars. It was great weather though and still a fun day. We ate really good paninis from a sandwich stand near the warf for lunch and then headed to Kings Cross to check out platform 9 3/4. That was fun but slightly disappointing because nothing looks like the movies. The actual exterior shots for Kings Cross are at the next door train station and there was a lot of construction. We also stopped at the Leaky Cauldron and might make an attempt to find Gringotts at a later date. Everyone was really tired by the time we found Burough Street Market and the pub so we headed back to take naps and relax. This evening Meggan and I walked to a crepe shop near the tube station. They were soooo good! A perfect late night meal. While at the crepe shop we discovered that they also served cognac and coffee so Michael and my goal to try cognac will soon be completed!
