We woke up with RASH on our arms, hands and faces! I thought at first I had some kind of disease but then I saw J'nyn had it too.

Had our coffee at Starbucks. Bought a three day Tube pass which is a great deal! We visited the Museum of London and then St. Paul's Cathedral. That was so nice - I've waited a long time to see it as we didn't get to it in 1986. And it's always meant so much to me because of 'Mary Poppins' - 'feed the birds, tuppence a bag'. I love my pigeons, all the 'tits Valiants du monde'! I had an Italian M&S sandwich - watching London go by...

Got on the Tube to the British Museum - fantastic! Except for the Celtic exhibit was closed - bugger. We walked to Covent Gardens and the Royal Opera House - this area is so beautiful, I just love it. A woman was singing 'Nessun Dorma' and I was sobbing. We shopped at the London Museum of Transport - lots of great Tube souvies!.



We had drinks (4 each - a Pimms, Apple Manhattans and a Manhattan!!) at the Zinc Bar watching all people coming and going. The bartenders were quite nice even though one didn't really know what he was doing. It was a great evening - it does not get any better than this! Took the Tube home and stopped at M&S for snacks and cheese.
