Due to travel to Marlborough today, we had booked a Zip Car. When we arrived at the car, there was no way to unlock it. After 2 hours on the phone to Zip Car HQ, they finally told us that we couldn’t use our Australian phone number to use the App, even though their website had allowed us to book it using the Australian phone number. A total fiasco… 2 hours wasted.

We cancelled our plans, vented, and recovered quickly. I don’t want to waste a second of my life feeling bad.

We bussed it into town and explored Carnaby Street, Regent Street, had lunch at Il Conte (in Air Street), explored a few Oxford Street shops, then lay down in the sun in Hyde Park, where we saw a marching troupe rehearsing for the Coronation.

We then walked back along Oxford St, all the way to Tottenham Court Road, and caught a bus to Angel.

Dinner at Hoxley & Porter, Islington.

We are absorbing London as much as we can.

There is a full moon shining through the bedroom window tonight.
