Return to the Museum of London, our previous visit two years ago was very good but they were revamping the building and half of the exhibits were not on show. This time however it was all there and is about the best museum in the capital.
It is one of the most extensive displays of Roman artefacts which is not surprising as London was one of the largest cities in the UK during those days.
There are displays of the remains of lions and bears that roamed around the Thames area thousands of years ago through to modern day London. Brilliant.
We then met Peter Wilde again at St Pauls and went for lunch at Cafe Rouge over the road. After a very nice meal Penny suggested that we walk back to our flat at Baker Street. I'ved just measured it and it was 3.4 miles or 5.5 kms so needless to say lunch was well and truly walked off, mind you it did hiss down with rain for part of the trip and we were glad to get home and rest the aching feet.
