Thursday 2 August started as a gloriously sunny day, so I treated myself to a coffee at the cafe in the park next door. I sat outside on the balcony and soaked up the sun...until it exited stage left as per usual. Back at home I did a few necessary domestics and found that the day was slipping away without me having achieved much at all really (obviously I'm settling into a life of leisure all too easily).
So to tick off a 'tourist to do' I walked over to the Royal Docks. The docks consist of a huge area of hotels and new apartment developments, restaurants, the ExCeL London and the Sunborn Yacht Restaurant and Hotel...and of course the water.
The ExCeL London is an international exhibition and conference centre and is absolutely massive. And on the day I went...completely deserted. I was crushed to discover I had missed the Star Wars convention in mid-July. However, I was thrilled to learn that I'll be able to attend the '36th Miss Intercontinental' competition in late October. Even more exciting is the Skin Two Expo in early October, two fun filled days of the world's biggest fetish fair where apparently I'll be able to meet my local club, my favourite fetish model, and socialise with Club RUB. You just can't top that!
The Sunborn Yacht/Hotel was a distinct disappointment. The menu was fairly uninspiring, particularly for the prices, but the biggest disappointment was the view...in one direction was the convention centre and DLR stop, and in the other direction the dilapidated Millenium Mills building, currently being demolished due to Asbestos, etc. Certainly not something I'd be spending my hard earned pounds on.
