Touristas

Sunday morning started with croissants, as most mornings normally do. I had an almond one, as well as one plain. Both were divine. We then took a spin on the London Eye.




Then a walk back to the Camel + Artichoke pub from the night before, to partake in a traditional Sunday Roast. We picked meals of roast chicken or roast beef with traditional trimmings (roasted potatoes, roasted vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding).


Then Yann left us to do the British Museum on our own (I’m sure he was tired of three girls). We spent several hours walking through that monstrosity.


Christine and I thought we’d done quite well, but then saw something saying we should see the Elgin Marbles. We didn’t remember seeing any marbles, so we headed to that gallery to check them out. Halfway there, when I could see the gallery up ahead, we realized that the Elgin “Marbles” were simply a bunch of things MADE of marble, not actually anyone’s marbles. The British Museum overall was quite impressive, the architecture of the building itself, as well as the array of really, really old items it contained. We’ve seen the Rosetta Stone, and are no doubt better for it.
