Day 3
Going to the British museum today to see the Egyptian and Medieval exhibitions.
Decide to take train in to Victoria rather than London Bridge and on arrival find the tube line we want is closed so have to take a small detour using one of the other lines. Arrive at British museum and have a coffee before looking at the exhibits.
There's so much to see here, you could spend days but we limit ourselves to a few quality hours and then head off to Covent Garden for lunch.
Decide on Chez Gerrard - a French Bistro - but clearly Gerard isn't home as the Maitre d'ess says sniffily that they are fully booked. I appreciate that we don't look that smart - ruck sack, fleece, walking gear and trainers but it's not that posh a restaurant. Our refusal seriously miffs Tina and we wait and see whether this is a slight against our dress or whether they really are fully booked as we wait at the bottom of the stairs to see if anyone else is turned away - still undecided but think it was the way we were dressed.
End up at an English theme pub.
Tina's pretty shattered so we head back for a few hours relaxation before heading home tomorrow. These city breaks are very, very tiring - not much of a break.
We return and take a taxi back from the station.
Next month it's a Friday, Saturday break as I am running out of holiday and we're off to Wells.
