Though I wished for a new pair of feet about mid evening, day three was wonderful. Our adventures today consisted of the V&A Museum (Victoria and Albert), the Tate Modern, and then some shopping as well as the traditional meal of fish n' chips- which was splendidly delicious!
The V&A is massive and we only had a couple of hours to roam the place, but it was cool to see things in real life that we've studied and sketched in History over the past school year. My favorite thing was probably looking at all the beautiful, old chests and clothing.
The Tate Modern Museum was somewhat disappointing, actually, but a Monet painting made it worth it. It was just a little to extreme for me. Sadly, my camera died after the V&A so I don't have any pictures to post right now of the Tate. Close by the museum were several bridges: the London Bridge, the Millennium Bridge by Calatrava (this is the bridge shown in Harry Potter 6), and the Tower Bridge, along with a few others as well. Set in the background is St. Paul's Cathedral - which is absolutely huge and amazing.
A few of us took a trip to the Hummingbird Bakery for cupcakes that we heard were magnificent; I tried the red velvet and it was mouthwatering. We also dined at Billy's - my first pub experience! The fish n' chips was excellent and our waiter was the cutest. We just might have to go back ;)
