Day 7: Harrods & Museum of Natural History

The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again. - Charles Dickens

Shopping at Harrods
Our last day in London included a visit to Harrods. We arrived when the store opened and perused oodles of high end merchandise, including a $2,000 box of chocolates and a personal submarine. Our favorite stops were the cafeteria, which had everything from sushi to pasties, and the toy department which boasted six-foot-tall teddy bears, Lego models of London and a wizard's chess set.

Taste: Pasties, a British treat akin to Thanksgiving dinner in a tiny, crescent shaped pot pie crust - one of many delicacies served in Harrods' elaborate dining hall
