So number 2 on my list of 30 things to do to celebrate turning 30 was a weekend in London and a show...Dirty Dancing!! This is my absolute favourite film of all time and I have never been to a show before. We travelled to London by train on Saturday which was really nice as we both got to relax on the journey. We got to our hotel around 3pm and it was very nice indeed, just off Russell Square and a short walk away from the Aldwych Theatre. I knew we were going for the weekend so managed to book dinner reservations for before the show. We went to a fantastic Indian restaurant called Sitaaray on Drury Lane, again just a short walk from the Theatre. It was a set menu and nothing like I have ever had before, poppadoms and chutneys, 9 starters and 3 main courses. All of which they bring out one after the other to your table so you get to try everything. It was YUMMY. Then on to the show which was amazing I really enjoyed every minute of it and I really want to go again. It was very true to the film and the cast were great. We had planned to go to Camden Market on the Sunday before coming home but on our walk back to the hotel Saturday night we discovered the British Museum just around the corner from our hotel so we went there instead. I had a brilliant weekend and a lovely late birthday present. I have uploaded some pics but couldnt take any during the show unfortunately.
