Jour 6, 3 mai

 First full day of rain in London. So it’s time to visit the museum and go shopping. First, we went to the Victoria and Albert Museum. We wandered around the shop and the sculptures. I noticed that the 3 Graces sculpture was no longer there. (Louise, Lise, and Gloria know what I'm talking about.) I learned that there are over 100,000 different pieces of clothing dating back centuries and from all over the world. Now I understand why I don't see the same things every visit.

It was time for a coffee or tea break. We went to the beautiful museum café. Lyne separated from us to go visit the Natural History Museum.

Then it was time to go home. André had to prepare for his departure. 

We accompanied him to the South Kensington tube from where he was going to Heathrow. From there Catherine and I took a bus to Harrods. As we were walking through the store we met Lyne. What a surprise!!! We would have given her an appointment without ever being able to meet her. Of course we visited the Food Hall and my friends were really impressed with all the varieties. We went to the 3rd floor to see the dishes. That’s when we really realized we weren’t the typical Harrods customer.

Look at this beautiful piece. Do I like it? Do I need it? I don't need to think about it. I just can't afford it! I would never have paid £46545.00 for any dish on earth anyway. Even with Paul McCartney's face on !

Before we left Harrods, we saw this beautiful piano.  Itmay look like a toy, but it is a regular size piano.  I don't want to talk about the cost of  it.  (You would faint!).  Just want to show you that it seem to me like a piece of art.

After Harrods, Lyne returned to the Natural History Museum, as she was never able to get in at first. Catherine and I took another bus to Elizabeth Street where I visited Jo Loves and bought myself a present.

It was aperitif time. We entered the Thomas Cubitt Pub. We had a very good time chatting over a good wine in a pleasant area.

We walked to Victoria Station where we took another bus to Mark and Spencer to pick up groceries for supper.

We may not be the typical Harrods shopper, but that didn't stop us from having a nice and delicious meal at home.

Even in the rain, we managed to take 13,444 steps.
