Another day room in London. Well, I have always been a Sherlock Holmes freak - ever since I was a kid. Read every book multiple times. Saw the movie twice on the plane coming back from Holland and since I only have a day in London, watched it again on the way over here. The movie was OK - not the best done I have ever seen but I did think Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law did a great job of how they portrayed Holmes and Watson. Fresh approach and I thought it was well done - portrayal wise.
Then, again since I only have a day here, took the tube to....yep, you guessed it.
Right outside the tube station they have a statue of the "Great Detective". Sorry about the quality of the photos but I had to take them from my iPhone.
Strolled down the road about 2 blocks to yep, you guessed it again, 221B Baker Street.
There is even a historical plaque at 221B Baker Street.
I am not a huge fan of paying to go inside of anything, but I am a huge fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyal's characters, so I did this time.
Not worth paying to get into if you ever go, but cool none the less....
Then I went to this great Pub across from the Baker Street Tube Station - The Globe.
And my search for the ultimate fish and chips is over now. I asked the girl what was best and she said the fish and chips - delivered daily and hand prepared. Folks, it was AWESOME. Best I have had in London and I have had F&C like every time I have been through almost. It truely was the best yet.
Then as I was going back to the tube station, I saw this sign for Tuna Massages. I figured, HECK YEAH! I guess I could dig being whooped with a wet fish for 30 minutes. Went inside and asked for the Tuna Massage. No, no Tuna - Tuina!!! So, you ain't gonna whip me with a wet fish? NO! Then I am outta here.
Safe winds folks!!! See ya on the flip flop. Man, and I sure was looking forward to that wet fish whoopin'.....bummer.
