Day 23

Victoria and Albert Museum is on the agenda today. George picked us up at 10:30a and took us to the V&A Museum. What a delight. We spent a few hours on the floor with most of the things pertinent to V&A and The Exhibition. I took a lot of photos. I will also have a lot of fun looking back on those and digesting the information.

The Exhibition Opening Day

We decided to have lunch at the V&A. It was good, a bit crowded in the cafeteria, but we found a spot. Eating to live piano music and surrounded by the lovely decor, what more could we want? 

We trekked over to the Natural History Museum. That might have been a mistake because even though there was no queue now, it was terribly crowded. We misunderstood that the Moon Landing Exhibition was there, but it was really at the Science Museum. Anyway, they did have a Moon Exhibit, which we found and took a photo of. It was quite nice but not what we were looking for. 

The Moon

We were supposed to just text George to come and pick us up but it was a long drive with a lot of congestion so we decided to take a taxi back to their apartment. That was simple for us and easier for them. We had refreshments and headed to one of their favorite restaurants, The Strand. Thai food, and it was delicious.

After dinner, we all walked back across the street, bid farewell, and got a bus back to our hotel. I'm pretty sure we got back to the hotel before they could get upstairs to their apartment! It seemed like a very full day to us. We are going to bed early tonight.
