A Chilly November Day in London

Raining, cold and grey – a normal November day in London! So, we decided to go to the British Museum, a London landmark that opened its door to the public in 1759. The British Museum is a human history museum, with artifacts from all over the world documenting human life. A few photos from our afternoon at the museum…

After the museum, we warmed up in a pub before heading to the Tower of London for ice skating. I’m sure that the few beers I enjoyed helped my ice skating abilities!! Fortunately, we found a brief break in the rain and had a blast on the ice skating rink.

And on our way home, we ended up near Regent Street, a popular shopping street between Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus. The holiday decorations were out in force, so enjoy!
