Over breakfast, we planned to go on a walking tour of Legal London, so went to Holborn tube. But when we got outside, the sunny day had become cold and wet and windy. So we went straight back to the tube and headed for the British Museum.
Such has been London weather. Nothing like I have experienced, but exactly what you read about. It has been very changeable, which makes dressing difficult. So I just carry a backpack with a warm layer, a wind/rain proof layer, a hat, an umbrella, sunglasses, and am adding a scarf. Then you can choose whatever combination you need for the next 30 minutes.
Saw an exhibition about Shakespeare - quite interesting. It is 400 years since he died. Last year London was full of the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta. So this is how history helps tourism. After than we went to the gallery where they have old stuff - like a letter from Karl Marx to his friend,from Henry VIII to the Pope, and the rough draft of the Beatles songs Yesterday and Help. There were also old books - old bibles, Korans, Buddhist scripts and others. Pics not allowed in these exhibitions.
KM has got my cold. Mine was bad for a couple of days but cleared quickly, so lets hope his does the same.
Tomorrow is Leicester - so should have some pics then.
