It was Easter Sunday and we had made tentative plans to get up and attend church, maybe St. Paul's or Westminster Abbey or even the local parish church. We decided on Bedside Baptist instead and rushed to make our lunch appointment at the Hereford Arms. Unfortunately the tube app let us down and we walked "TEN fast miles" (as Erin wrote in her notes with some hyperbole and a smidgen of truth) to arrive at the pub. Sunday roast was good. I had the lamb, Erin had the chicken and of course there was more cask ale to be had.
After lunch it was on to the Victoria and Albert Museum, the world's first decorative arts museum. Very cool stuff. The incredible blown glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling was absolutely astonishing. From there we headed to Harrods to find it closed. Then we made our way to Buckingham Palace and saw 10 Downing Street. After taking in the sights there we went back to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament at about sunset where we were scammed by a talking Italian mime for five pounds. After dinner and a couple more pints of cask ale we went to a grocery store for wine and Cadbury chocolates - which Erin ate until she felt sick.
