Day 3 in London is officially in the books. The internet here isn't working the best so I'll have to make this brief. Hopefully I'll have more time to do a more complete post later.
Anyways, here's some highlights.
Day 2
-Took the tube to South of the river to the Imperial War Museum. Lots of World War I and II artifacts. Spent about three hours here.
-Headed back across the river to see the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
-Walked up St. James Park to Buckingham Palace
-Took tube to Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Quickly walked through the dinosaur exhibit, spend a lot of time at V&A, lots of old artifacts and art. Found a Roman statue that looked exactly like Zimmer.
-Walked to Hyde Park. Sat across from the Royal Albert Hall, walked to Kensington Palace and the Italian Gardens.
-Ate dinner at a grill near Oxford Street.
-Walked to Picadilly Circus, then to Leicester Square, sort of like Times Square in NY. People watched for quite a while.
-Went back to Camden and went to a blues bar to see a band play, then hit the hay
Day 3
-Got up early to go to the British Museum. Spent 3-4 hours on the lower levels, lots to see. Rosetta Stone, ancient Egyptian art and sculpture, ancient Greek and Roman. Basically if anything important happened in history, it was here. Walked to an Italian cafe for lunch and then hit the rest of the floors of the museum after lunch.
-Tom W, Josh, and I split up from Zimmer and Craig. We went to Trafalgar Square and hung out on the monument.
-We got discount tickets for a West End production of Sweeney Todd.
-Went down to a park by the river to relax, then got a bite to eat at a nice restaurant in the West End.
-Went to Sweeney Todd, really great production.
-Took the tube back home.
Tomorrow we are planning to see the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Globe Theater. Off to Paris on Friday. I'll post pictures when I can!
