London Baby!!!!

With getting a great sleep on the train and my early arrive in London this morning I was able to meet up with Mike at Edgeware Road tube station to get our suite case off him while he was on his way to his course. I then made my way to our Hotel, Hilton London Metropole hotel. I wasn't able to check in straight away, at 8.30am that was to be expected. They stored my bags and I was off ready for shopping, so Selfridges on Oxford Street was my first point of call, they have, Christian Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and many other stores all on the ground floor. I have been looking for an ID wallet for Mike and I, we had look a couple of weeks previous at LV in Edinburgh, but didn't have everything in stock. Well I have to say it was all pretty sad I didn't buy anything!!!!...I even had approval to purchase from Mike but didn't, that is what happens when I can't find what I am looking for (well behaved of me I think).

I headed back to the hotel around lunch time to check into our room. Our room was on the 7th floor and was bigger than I expected. For £48 a night including breakfast, it was in a great location.Once I was checked in and freshened up I headed off to the Victoria and Albert Museum. On the way I passed the National History Museum, although I didn't go in the building was just beautiful.

I have been wanting to spend some time at V&A, from first seeing the building I was blown away.

V&A have a hugh Textiles department that I have itching to spend some time in, well some time I did, a few hours. But the rest of the museum was also just as fascinating. The sculpture section interested me, the size of he pieces on display in the Cast Courts were just hugh, live size, it was just like being in Rome again.

By 5.30pm I was back in our room just in time for Mike to arrive from his course.
