There are about 11 tube lines in London that crisscross the city and sometimes overlap. This weekend 6 of the 11 lines are undergoing "necessary improvements" from Saturday morning until Monday morning and are closed. This made travel around the city more complicated but we like a challenge! It's like solving a puzzle or making your way through a maze. (Thank goodness the Picadilly line to Heathrow is not on the list of closures!)
If you like leaving an art exhibit dumbfounded, I recommend the Tate Modern. Okay, maybe not all of it was crap. They did have 1 Matisse, 2 Picasso's, a Monet and 'The Kiss' by Rodin. "No offense," Daniel commented, "but this is the worst museum I've ever been in." None taken and I concur. Good thing it was free to visit, but we did waste 10 pounds on audio devices that were supposed to be descriptive guides. Still didn't help. I guess we are art snobs?
Did I mention that the weather is beautiful?
As a family we've been to St. Paul's Cathedral before so today when we walked across the Millennium Bridge, we were satisfied to stroll around it and take a quick peek inside. It's still there and it's still the same. Seems like that's mostly what we've done in England - walked.
Tomorrow morning we have to say goodbye, leave the keys to our flat and meet Scott at Heathrow. We called it an early day and picked up a simple dinner from Sainsbury's. We spent 14 pounds (about $21) and had a smorgasbord of food. Baked chicken, egg salad, steak wrap, pasty, orange, grapefruit, juice, soda... kind of a weird menu but satisfying nonetheless.
