Duck, pheasant, and emu eggs in Harrod's deli. The black emu egg costs about $50. Posted by Hello

After the RGS, we went shopping in Knightsbridge. Lots of boutique stores and Harrods, the craziest deluxe department store I’ve ever been in. Beyond the Cartier watches and fancy perfumes and bags, it even has a super-supermarket selling things like fancy brandy and vinegar by the deciliter and ostrich and emu eggs. Other stores we checked out included H&M and Muji.

We didn’t have any emu eggs for dinner. It was fish and chips again at a tiny restaurant in Covent Garden. I figured we wouldn’t be able to have anything close to the genuine thing unless we return to England. Nan had a prion, er, beef and onion pie and chips. We washed these down with Turkish beer. By the time dinner was through, we’d had a long day and headed back to the hotel.

Last night in London tonight. Tomorrow, back to the States! Hmmm, I wonder where we should go next…
