The Abbey is a burial site for many English monarchs. We walked around and saw the tombs of Queen Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots, Richard II and Richard III (among others). There were also tombs of famous poets. Although Shakespeare isn't buried there I sneaked a picture of his monument.
Then we went to The Alfred pub for lunch. Anthony and I were craving fish and chips so that's what we ordered. It was very traditional with a choice of mashed peas or regular peas. Instead of giving us a plate of small fish filets there was just one big fish! We saw Trafalger Square, where there was a sea of tourists.
After the internet cafe (were I left the first post) we got coffee from Cafe Nero, which I guess is a popular European coffee shop. It was pretty good for a chain. The boy behind the counter must have been Italian; He didn't speak much English.
Then.... we saw WICKED! Oh my gosh. It was amazing! I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the book before the show. I am about halfway through the book, but am now determined to finish it! The actress who played Elphaba did an amazing voice. Her voice was so beautiful I cried. Seriously it sounds a little pathetic but it was so wonderful. I want to see it again!
