london: liverpool street station

what's travel without at least one meltdown?

i have a tactic for travel that includes the following:

1) each day pick several things you want to do
2) consult maps, decide on travel routes, complete items from step 1
3) after step 2 spend several hours intentionally getting lost

getting lost is perhaps one of my favourite activities, though it is understandably frustrating to my fellow travelers. especially when you drift into central london without a game plan and proceed directly to step 3.

after the meltdown we wandered into liverpool street station to chill out and get our day together. after about half an hour in silence, save for the occasional whir of the destination slats flipping on the leader board, we were completely mellowed. what a great station.
