After an early start, we squeezed into our British Airways plane that needed retiring and bumped across the Alps with the mountains and snow in full view. Arriving in London we were able to check in early and so were off into London for the day!
First stop was Ping Pong, an old favourite dumpling inn from our last visit to London, just as scrumptious as before! Then it was on to the Victoria and Albert Museum - fantastic! Need about a week just to see what we were interested in, let alone the entire collection. Saw the world's largest collection of micro mosaics, decided we would go blind even attempting the absolute microscopic size of each piece inserted in the many works. Some pieces were very small in their entirety, while we marvelled at how a whole table showing all the major cities of Italy could even be attempted, let alone in micro mosaic!
Off to Covent Garden for a beer and some buskers, before walking to Piccadilly Circus to take the Heathrow Express back to the airport to fly to Hong Kong.
