We set the alarm and actually got off at a reasonable hour. First we went to the National Museum. I was most impressed with the Egyptian statues and the parts of the Parthenon. We walked until we got tired and decided to save the Chinese terra cotta warriors for when we are in China.

Next we went to St Paul’s Cathedral. Mostly military heroes buried here. Not so much art as the Cathedrals we saw in Europe in ’99. We did see the memorial to Winston Churchill and the burial spots of John Donne and Florence Nightingale. William walked up to the top of the dome. I watched a wedding. Most of the guests and the bridesmaids had feathery hats. I think Camilla has been seen in feathery hats.

We bussed to Trafalgar Square, walked to Piccadilly Circus and dined in a pub to round out the evening.
