The joy of everyone speaking English still hasn’t worn off. This morning (well, “morning” being noon – we slept in!) when we went into the Museum of London, a cheery man greeted us in English. Stunned me a little, actually. Apparently there are over 300 languages spoken in London, so public transport is 50% or less English.
But the museum. It covered the history of London from the people who lived there over 2000 years ago to the modern times. It was an impressive collection, but a lot of the things had small print: “Replica – original at British Museum”
No pictures from the Museum of London, but we did wander over to St. Paul’s cathedral. In terms of of favorite buildings, it’s a close second to the Notre Dame.

The small side entrance

Massive front door with dad for scale. Princess Diana walked through there for her wedding!

Unfortunately, like Highclere Castle, you can’t take pictures inside and it cost a lot to get in. We poked our heads inside the door and gazed around for a few minutes. Everything is carved of marble so it’s a lot brighter than the Notre Dame.

Tomorrow morning the boys are off the Venice for a few days, leaving us girls to do girly things like explore the Parliament buildngs.
