London Day 2

We were supposed to be in Bicester Village today but Tina failed to realised that when the website says "bus in front of Debenhams from Oxford" it meant "bus in front of Debenhams from (town of) Oxford" and not "bus in front of Debenhams from Oxford (which we, or rather, she, presumed was near Oxford Circus Station in London)". So, we spent 1 hour walking along Debenhams in London trying to find a road which is nowhere near Debenhems. What a great start right?

After me getting mad at her for failing to even get 1 thing done correctly (hello, the mall in florence was extremely hard to locate and no official info in English but I still got it!) We decided to walk along Bond Street since most of the Boutiques (read: very expensive stuff like Prada, Gucci, Dloce etc etc...) will be opened today as they were all closed on 26th. Went to Mulberry where I fell in love with a messenger mag (yes I know, i have enough of messenger bags at home) But I retreated and decided to think it through before another purchase.

At night, we decided to try our luck to get student tickets for the play The Woman in Black, the longest running stage show in London, and had tons of rave reviews. Went to Convent Garden and walked around and we did managed to get two 15 pounds special student tickets that were originally priced at 40+ pounds by showing up 1 hour earlier at the theatre.

The play was brillient and extremely spine chilling, and the money's definately well spent!
