Itinerary:

- Get up. Took a taxi to The Box, where flirty waiters served a delicious brunch.

- Shopping, sweetie! the SOHO area is pumped so full of stylish little clothing stores the whole place is oozing out its ears with fashionable fabulousness. We hit lots of great places like Pepe Jeans, the French Connection's main store, Jigsaw, Boxfresh, Jinks, and Outrage.

- Off for a drink at Freedom, a cute little cafe/bar with a hip kind of shabbiness.

3:30 pm

- Wandered down Old Compton Street and checked out American Retro and Paradiso, a funky little leather/rubber store.

Random tower on the way to the river.

The intrepid duo in front of the Waterloo Bridge.

4:00 pm - Walked along South Bank of the Thames and took in the gorgeous skyline. We walked down to Stamford Wharf and had exotic pizza at the Gourmet Pizza Co.

Randy in front of St. Peter's Cathedral. That would be the pointy white thing.

Matt after his tasty meal of pizza topped with Peking duck, plum sauce, shredded green onions, and broccoli.

5:00 pm - Walked down to Waterloo Station and took the underground back to Charing Cross, said goodbye to our wonderful guide Wayne, then headed back to the Fitzrovia where we began catching up on this website.

The hustle and bustle of Waterloo Station.

7:00 pm - Randy went off to meet his friend Peter (whom he met in New York a few months ago) for a bit of fun. That tied him up for about an hour and a half. Then he walked from Covent Garden to Piccadilly Circus, getting in some quality people-watching time.

8:00 pm - Matt hooked up with Justin, a sexy Australian guy he met at Salvation the night before. They had a tasty dinner at Wagamama, a trendy ramen bar in SOHO, before precariously sharing Justin's bicycle back to his apartment. Good fun was had by all.
