We spent the night back at the George IV pub with Antony, same old faces. Ant wasn't motivated to do any site seeing with us, so we decided to got to the British Museum.
The museum contains a vast collection of antiquities from all around the world. We only had the stamina to explore the ancient Egypt, Roman and Greek section of the museum. There was just so much to take in. There was a splendid collection of Egyptian mummies, statues and sculptures. Beautiful Greek statues, the Rosetta Stone....just too much....we exhausted ourselves! We will have to go back to the the Celtic/Roman displays and the famous "Reading Room" another day.
The weather was terrible ~ down pours of rain and very cold. We warmed ourselves up with our favorite Thai Green curry at the "Old Pack Horse" pub back in Chiswick.
