| Harrods (at least 1 city block and 6 stories!) |
Many of you have heard of Harrods, the place you can buy ANYTHING. I had heard of the store, but I didn't know what to expect. The maze that met me at the door was overwhelming. I am convinced the intention of the maze is to lure a naive person in only to offer escape through the purchase of an item. I am proud to say that I exited incurring only minimal financial damage (a card for my Valentine).

Kevin and I went to Harrods again and found several high dollar items including a £2300 chess set, £7000 set of pearls, £10,000 fur coat, and (drum roll please) a $47,000 diamond studded pen. Below you will see the pictures so you don't have to take my word.

This visit I was captivated by the chocolate truffles and candy. My sweet tooth was satisfied when Kevin and I shared a delightful gelato sundae.

Gelato Sundae.
I really did share, I promise. |
Harrods is not a place that I would regularly shop, but I am convinced you could get anything there if you have the money. In my opinion, the experience of wandering through perusing the inventory and watching the people is, however, worth the visit. If you're lucky, you may even get to hear "Figaro" sung by one of the pizza chefs.
Nummy, num - your mother and I loved the gelato sundae. Interesting to see the luxury items for purchase. Snob appeal, methinks.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun little trip!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding! Sweets and insane prices! It sounds like a valentines to remember! Wonderful. I hope Figaro was as good as the gelato!
