Friday

Overslept this morning, so, got off to a late start. Went to the British Museum to start with. The first 20 - 30 minutes were fabulous; the Rosetta Stone, the pieces from the Parthenon. But, there was just too much of it, and really, we didn't have to digest it all. Did the audio tour for the highlights...I really like the roman coins and items they just discovered in the last 10-30 years in England, but, maybe not the best of experiences.

Walked down Oxford Street to the Oxford Circus station.....this is the big shopping street in London, and it was crowded. Took the Underground to the station near Harrod's and checked that out.....very large, the food halls were amazing.

Came back to the hotel, and then went out to a German restaurant for dinner. Not many choices for German in London....and the restaurant was more properly a beer cellar. Sat at picnic tables, ate our shnitzel.
