Our first day of touring and it was a busy day. Ros loaded us on the bus for an early start.

Kevin, our outstanding London guide, first took us to The British Museum. (He noted that the museum was across the street from the Senate House, which George Orwell used as his model for the Ministry of Information in 1984.)

The museum of course is one of the world’s best and we barely scratched the surface of all of its wonderful exhibits. A few of the “biggies” were an Easter Island statue, the Rosetta Stone and a marble horse head from the Parthenon.

After lunch we visited the Guild Hall, with its buildings and architectures from many centuries and archaeological remains dating back to the Romans.

Finally, we toured the world famous St. Paul’s Cathedral. It is not possible to describe or even picture this beautiful building, but its survival of the Blitz in WW II was one of the most remarkable stories of that conflict.
