Inside the British Museum

Next day ... rain. Ponchos on, we hopped on the tube and went out to the British Museum. A real treasure (and free admission, too), the place is huge. You could spend days there and not make a dent in all there is to see. We both really enjoyed this museum, but I especially enjoyed the mummies, and seeing one of the Cleopatras. Later, still jet-lagged, we went back to our hotel for an after-lunch nap. When we woke up, it had stopped raining. We walked to Buckingham Palace, and then to Westminster Abbey, and enjoyed a stroll along the South Thames. Dinner on the top floor of Oxo Tower at their brasserie, where we enjoyed the most beautiful view of London, and a very delicious meal. After dinner, the view of the Tower Bridge at night was breathtaking, so we crossed it and walked back to our room.
