Chinatown today for some Dim Sum! Oh how I’ve missed thee. The tasty custard filled dumplings were especially good. From there went to Abbey Road. ‘Nuff said. Then dropped by the Sherlock Holmes Museum but only went to the gift shop after seeing pics of the museum. Saw the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum (great building) before heading off to the National Gallery for some Rembrandt’s, Michelangelo’s, Van Gogh’s (Sunflowers were here, wonder if it’s permanent?), Da Vinci’s, and Monet’s. Then went to try and find the Temple Church stopping by St. Pual’s during a service; wish I could visit it more fully, but oh well. I trekked to Chimes English Restaurant and Cider Bar for their cider recommended by Rick Steves. Luckily afterwards I was able to make the 9:00 showing of Kick-Ass whose title does it justice.
Ciders tried: Chimes Traditional (better than wine), Merrydown Vintage Gold (Excellent, best, like Martinelli’s but with 7.5% abv), Biddenden Sweet (refrigerated, but like the Traditional), Henry Weston’s (not quite wine, slightly sparkly, but good).
In regards to Fabric from last night. A very good club (esp. Room 3 with the Glimmers), but European or maybe clubs in general are kidna weird. Some people just awkwardly stand at times and the age gap can be 25+ years. I was pretty tired and had to leave at 2:30. Decent 3 hours, but it would’ve been nice to push for 5 am. The club goes till 8 am. Ridiculous. Not a bad night, but I’ve decided clubs aren’t my thing.
