Harrods Pet Kingdom
Mr. Hunter browsed the Harrods Pet Kingdom. The store sells plenty of (expensive) pet supplies and accessories, but the most notable pet encounters were the animals themselves.
We encountered this adorable, velvety Shar-pei puppy. She looked as soft as a teddy bear. One nearby customer even asked if this puppy was real. She was real, and her name was Maia.
We also saw a pair of Bengal kittens.

| These Bengal kittens cost £1200 each. |
Here's some video of the Bengal kittens being spotted and cute:

Harrods Food Halls
Mr. Hunter browsed the busy Harrods Food Halls. He had hoped to find them selling some guanabana (aka soursop), but that was one of the few fruits that he didn't spot on the shelves.

Hello Kitty at Harrods
Why, yes, Mr. Hunter did browse the store's selection of Harrods-themed Hello Kitty items!

Harrods
Mr. Hunter tagged along on a shopping excursion to Harrods, where he explored the Harrods food halls, their super-expensive pet department, their selection of Hello Kitty items, their football (soccer) jerseys, and their huge collection of Christmas decorations.

Macarons at Ladurée
Mr. Hunter visited Paris back in 2010, and he still regrets not visiting one of Paris's famed Ladurée shops to sample some of their macarons. So he was pleased to find a Ladurée outpost attached to Harrods. (There's another London Ladurée located at Covent Garden.)

| Which flavors will we choose? |

Buckingham Palace
After the tour of the Buckingham Palace State Rooms, we walked home and took a little time to take pictures of the front of the palace.
 |
| Hey! It's the Queen's Guard! |

| Scottish Unicorn |

| Mr. Hunter admired the Royal coat of arms, which features a lion and a unicorn. |
