Our third day in London we were not as blessed in the weather department as we were on day 2. The forecast called for heavy rain and cold temperatures. Me, being the awesome packer that I am, forgot to pack appropriate shoes for spending hours in the cold and rain. Way to go Kara!
By the time we got off the train and got to the city, my shoes were so wet I could literally wring them out. This meant that one of the first things on our agenda was to find me some shoes. Thankfully there was a Primark right when we exited the Underground. Praise the Lord!
We made sure to get most of our outdoor walking around and sightseeing done on the first day when it was sunny and dry, so we left our indoor tours and museums for the second day. On our way to the British Museum, Kiri and I stumbled across this fabulous second hand bookstore. We nearly screamed when we caught sight of it. There is nothing quite like the smell of a second hand bookstore. We both found some pretty great finds including a Princess Diana Tribute book. Ahhh!!! I could hardly contain the excitement.
The British Museum was another highlight. The place is huge with so much to see and do. We spent a couple hours walking around and I don't think we even saw half of what was available to see.

| The inside of the British Museum was phenomenal. So much to see. |
 |
| A portion of the Rosetta Stone on display. |
 |
| A reconstruction of part of the Parthenon in Rome. |
 |
| A corpse that had been mummified - the flesh was still fairly in tact. Incredible! |
 |
| We also stumbled across the fabulous Pub/Tea Room. |
 |
| Classic Earl Grey Tea and Scones were the perfect way to end off the afternoon. |
