weekend in London

So, we headed for London late morning on Friday. I had my new passport early in the afternoon and we went to a Paul bakery for lunch. It was delicious. Trave had a sesame baguette with Camembert and I had an olive ciabatta with tomatoes and mozzarella. We treated ourselves with a dessert and shared a "tarte au citron" and a "framboisier". They were both delicious desserts.

We had dinner with Longcat and his better half at a vegetarian/vegan restaurant and the food (AND DRINKS!!!) were delicious.

On Saturday morning, we went to the V&A museum. We did not see a lot but I spent some time in the islamic art section, the musical instrument room and the temporary art exhibition. You need much more time to see it all.

Then we had an informational meeting with our fellow fundraisers for the Cuba challenge. It was fun and nice to meet some of the other guys doing the same thing as us.

We finished the day by going to the movies with Longcat and watched Beowulf. Quite a good movie, but we all agreed that the age rate of 12A is wrong and should be higher. There are a few very explicit sexual references in this film.
