Last day in London

We spent our final day in London visiting museums; I visited three and Jean-Jacques, two. This morning, we went to the Natural History Museum and had a great time meandering through all the impressive exhibits. We took a short break from touring to eat lunch at a small, but incredibly authentic Italian restaurant. Jean-Jacques had risotto and I ordered an eggplant penne dish that was delicious! 


Since our tastes sometimes differ, Jean-Jacques and I split up to explore different museums; I chose to go to the Victoria & Albert Museum and saw some wonderful pieces of art from the Middle East, China, Korea, Japan, India, and Europe. Jean-Jacques was interested in spending all of his time in the Science Museum, so he went there while I was at the V&A and I met up with him later.


It was another night “in” for us and we got doner kebabs for dinner. I’m now off to bed since it’s an early day tomorrow; we’re going through the Chunnel, which is something that I vowed I’d never do because it’s terrifying. Funny how I always end up doing the things I swore I never would -- get married at a young age, travel to Asia, eat scary things, and pass through the Chunnel.
