After a breakfast buffet at the hotel, Sofia and I took the tube to Oxford St, where we met Chehnaz and Malik. We walked along Oxford St down to Leceister Square (pronounced Lester) and then to Picadilly.

On our walk, we stopped first at Costa Coffee, London's version of Starbucks, except we loved the fact that they serve coffee in proper mugs if you "eat in". Next, we stopped at Leceister square park for some pictures with Charlie Chaplin and some statue I can't remember. Later, after a 3 hour long walk, we stopped at Garfunkel's for burger and fries. Sofia had their Sheperd's pie.

Sheliza met us at the hotel at around 7p, and we headed to a Lebanese restaurant on Edgware Road called Al ArezWe would later find out that Naveen lives a block from where we were. Later that evening, we went to an Indian party at a club. I was appalled, Sofia was delighted, but the place was a bust and we left after seeing Indian guys dance with each other with some gusto.

The good news is that we are now used to the Tube system in London and Sofia is getting good at knowing where to go. That is not to say that she won't end up in Spain one day while getting to and from Cambridge.

We just got back to the hotel and I am about to crash.
