Later that same day(3)…


Alesha and I found this medieval dinner theater type thing. It was a little pricier but we thought it would be worth going to. So we called ahead and bought tickets for that night then we planned our route using our tube map. Well…we didn’t chose the best route…we left Russell Square and rode the Piccadilly line 9 stops and got off at South Kensington and rode that 11 stops until we got to Tower Hill. Well that is 20 stops which equals out to a little over an hour riding the underground…our train of thought was that we would only have to change trains once. Anyways neither one of us brought the directions to the dinner so we were already late and walked a mile in the wrong direction before we realized we were going the wrong way…oops. So we power walk our way over to St. Katherine’s Harbor and walked across this dock and found the little hole in the wall Banquet room. So by this time we are about 30 minutes late but they hadn’t started the meal yet. We are seated in this underground tavern type room at the end of a long table. Our server was introduced to us and instead that we called her wench and bang our fists on the table if we needed something. There was unlimited wine and ale at the table which is a good start to any meal and while we waited there was live entertainment. They had a jester who was the best juggler I have ever seen and he wasn’t hard on the eyes. He juggled 3 pins while balancing a spinning ball on a stand that was on his face. There was also signing and a couple amazing contortionists. The meal was interesting…we had ground up veggie soup which we drank straight from the bowl, a cold meat tray with questionable meats on it, a pot of chicken and frozen apple pie. The table we were seated at consisted mostly of Australian and Canadian citizens. One of the Canadian guys was so excited about the huge pot of chicken they brought to the table. He exclaimed that you can’t just get a bucket of chicken anywhere and then I reminded him about KFC…he wasn’t very amused. After the meal was over they started playing music for everyone to dance to and not traditional medieval music but club music..lol it was interesting. Over all it was a good time I wish the meal was more authentic but the performers we good so it balances out.
