Friday was M&H's last day in London, so we took things easy and dawdled around the Hyde Park/Harrods part of town. After a light meal at Paul's we dipped into the V&A, just so they could say they had been there - but we actually spent quite a bit of time there, because we discovered the Cast Room.
The Cast Room is a large high ceilinged room full of casts of ancient monuments & works of art, all gathered together higgledy piggledy in this one room. It looked like the stage set of some cheap 'The Mummy awakes in the Museum' type of film! Totally riveting!
Now I am back home trying to recover from having crammed a month worth of sightseeing into three days .... It wouldn't have happened in La Bourboule!
