From the airport, we took the train into town and made our first stop at Covent Garden, where we had a nice pub lunch. After a few pints of the bitter stuff, we used the loo and hit the road. We checked out a great organic market within the garden and tried more than a few samples of the offerings.
From Covent Garden, we hopped the tube to Russel Square, so that we could check out the British Museum. By this point, I fell asleep, naturally. I did wake up in time to see a myriad of pillaged, I mean, well-preserved, Egyptian & Greek artifacts. Among the highlights were the Elgin Marbles (which included the Parthenon Frieze-37.5% of it to be exact), and the Rosetta Stone. We had an early morning, so I was back to my hotel and tucked in early, dreaming of cute flight attendants with warm milk while en route to home sweet home...
