Saturday, May 6, London
Our day starts with a walk through Harrods, the great London department store. They have everything from vegetables to 'millionaire' toys. Great people watching.
We then walk down to the nearby Victoria and Albert museum, known affectionately as the V and A. This place is a hidden treasure of London. It is dedicated to 'decorative arts'. The fun part of a visit is moving from one space with ancient Indian art to another with wrought iron objects and then to a display of glass art over the centuries. The place is huge - I have been there three times and still not seen it all.
Pictures are just a small sample of what we saw on this visit.
