Coffee is tasty in London. We awoke to go a couple of blocks for breakfast and they brought coffee in these huge cups. (We weren't sure what we were suppose to do with that hot bowl of coffee so we drank some of it with a spoon.)It was delicious!
We then walked a couple of blocks to the Victoria and Albert Museum. It is more of an art museum with beautiful jewelry, venetian glass, costumes...fabulous things we enjoyed looking at. (Truly gorgeous.) I tried to take a picture of a huge diamond broche Mr. Stephens chose as his favorite "item of art." The guide politely asked us not to do so. We were able to take plenty of other pics though. Mrs. Duncan's favorite thing was the spiral of gemstones made up of every type of color. It was really pretty. My favorite item was this glass bowl that looked like whole real fish covered in silver were swimming inside it and then there was a small concave whole within it that was smooth. (I wanted to touch it so badly!)We also laughed at one another as we tried on theater costumes; it was great fun. As we left, we saw a man drawing on the sidewalk with chalk; his work was that of Big Ben. He was very talented and I wondered why he did that instead of doing something more permanent. We figure he made more money that way; but that was a huntch.
We walked to the corner store and bought some snacks and then they agreed to wait why I purchased sushi for a quick lunch. We are going to see the play Billy Elliot tonight and I need a nap!
