We were then going to catch the Tube around to the Three store and then a couple of stations further around to the museums. However, it was such a nice morning that we walked through Kensington Park instead. The man at the Three store sorted us out and then it was off to the V&A. I realised quite quickly that I couldn't possibly look at the whole place in a day, so we spent the morning there and left once we realised our brains would explode if we tried to take in much more. Would definitely be good to go back though.
We also discovered that our Oyster cards hadn't expired - more than 2 years since we used them but they both still had 7 or 8 pounds credit.
After lunch we went to the Science Museum and walked around and around - it was amazingly interesting.
Then because we hadn't walked far enough, we walked back to the hotel. And then, we walked around to a (very disappointing) shopping area a mile or so away - we were hoping to look around the shops and see a movie but the vast majority of the shops were closed; not just closed for the day but empty. So, we walked back again. My iPhone told me by this stage that I had done over 23,000 steps for the day!
Since we're in London and we're going to Rome tomorrow and will have every chance to eat Italian food, we finished off the day by having a delicious dinner at an Italian restaurant.
A couple of sights from today:
The Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens - what an outrageous thing it is!
And the Goat Tavern - apparently the oldest hotel in Kensington:
