We went to Madame Toussaud's Wax Gallery but there was a three hour wait, so we got a picture with this Astralian guy in an orange wig trying to talk with a Cockney accent (he works there, believe it or not).
Then we went to the King's Cross Train Station, which any of you with children will know is where Harry Potter and his friends caught the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 3/4s. Natalie is a big HP fan and I enjoyed the books tremendously (on my Air Egypt flight from Khartoum to Cairo I sat beside a young Egyptian woman who was reading a Harry Potter book). And Melanie knows how to read, thats as close as she comes to the Harry Potter phenomenon. A highlight of the trip so far.
Then we went to the theatre last night. Since the five of us can never agree on anything, Stephanie and Natalie went to see the Lion King (loved it); Melanie, Sandra and I went to see Wicked (I had a hard time following the plot but I loved Defying Gravity and one line in the second half made it all worthwhile (a tender love scene, in which Alphaba says "For the first time, I feel....wicked!" It was great).
Then back to our hostel for KFC and beer, naturally, and the girls checked their emails while I savoured the moment. Defying gravity.

Hi Wayne! I was sad to hear that your own daughters haven't read your blog!! So I thought that I had better let you know that I've read every one! And some of them have even been interesting too! Best wishes in serving the remainder of your sentence, and let's be safe out there. Your friend Gord.
