A couple of slower days. Kind of. The schedule in London has allowed us to sleep in a bit more which is nice. Yesterday Kim arranged High Tea at The Savoy which has to be the most elegant meal Sydney ever participated in. Or so she says. Afterwards we walked down The Strand to Trafalgar Square before catching a taxi home. A quick dinner at Bibendum Oyster Bar topped the slower Sunday. Nice
Today was about Museums. And shopping. Kim joined the Victoria and Albert Museum and The British Museum before we left, she noted that the cost of three tickets was about the same as membership but membership meant we could walk into any special exhibit at any time vs a timed entrance so why not. And it worked. The Victoria and Albert Museum is quite large, bigger than we expected so we concentrated on the fashion related exhibits which Kim loves. It also had a special exhibit on Frida Kahlo de Rivera, an exhibit we all enjoyed which opened our eyes to who she really was. Catch it if you can. We then beat it off to The British Museum to show Syd the Elgin Marbles, The Rosetta Stone and a great exhibit on how Rodin was inspired by Greek sculptures. A fast paced but fun day.
We ended the day at Harrods, a department store located near our flat. Words do not describe this store, a throwback to another time.
OK it is almost 2am. The bed is calling…
