<\/a><\/p>\nWe got a bit of a late start today. After so many days of Go Go Go, we both just needed a bit of lazy time. So we slept in and took our time getting ready. <\/p>\n
For brunch, we stopped into the little Italian cafe on our corner. They had great little sandwiches on ciabatta, and we had some delicious vegetable beef soup. <\/p>\n
We rode the tube a few stops to Westminster and exited the station directly under Big Ben. Walking around the corner we were at the abbey and we popped inside. The handy audio guide was voiced by none other than Jeremy Irons. We both had a laugh at that. The abbey is crammed full of dead royalty and the audio tour really added depth to the experience.<\/p>\n
From the abbey, we hopped over to Trafalger’s Square. They have big lion statues there and a couple fountains. Forgive me if there’s something important about this place that I don’t know. We did have coffee here…<\/p>\n
After the coffee we headed over to the Tate Modern. They were open until 10 tonight, so we took advantage of some after dark activity (you have to think like this when it gets dark at 5:30p). We saw some really neat art, including a gigantic dining table with chairs that you walk underneath, and quite a few works by Picasso. After enjoying the art, we headed up to the eighth floor to the restaurant. We had a beer and some tapas. We sat next to the window and watched more Guy Fawkes fireworks from afar. <\/p>\n
We walked to the tube station in the rain and grabbed a quick bite to eat at a local Chinese joint. <\/p>\n
