We started the day a bit lazily, sleeping in and lounging a bit (it is a Sunday!), then went to London to the Victoria and Albert museum. So not many people talk about this museum and seem to always go to the Natural History and Science museums in preference, but this was for sure the best one. It has literally everything, from medieval and Renaissance, to fashion in Britain from over a century, to archee-tech-cha (even the RMIT glass bubble building?!). And classic us, we didn't allow enough time. We also got lost, the building is huge. At one point we were just snap chatting what we could see to each other to try and find where the other one was. We kinda got around to most of the exhibits but ended up leaving in a rush to get to St. Paul's Cathedral in central London. Before we left we decided we should just get lunch at the museum cafe, which actually turned out to be in a huge, lovely room with stained glass windows and chandeliers. It was still a food hall of sorts, where you took a tray around to get the food you wanted, but the quality of the food was so much better than we expected.
St. Paul's is beautiful. The day was particularly nice, sunny and kinda warm (although we dressed thinking it would be warmer- another classic us move), and standing on the steps of St. Paul's was glorious. Although we couldn't see any of the crypts or exhibitions because it was Sunday, we went inside and took it all in, then listened to the choir during evensong. Afterwards we just absorbed the sun on the steps, enjoying our last Sunday in London. We even got ice cream!!!
That night Ash cooked stir-fry so we could get in as many greens as possible and we just relaxed, enjoying quality reality TV (Ash taught Elise how great it really is).
