London

Well, we left Scotland and have arrived in London.  The scenery is definitely different, much flatter and, of course, way more people. On our way from Edinburgh to Dumfries to return the rental car we were on "B" roads much of the time, and we encountered the proverbial "Scottish traffic jam": sheep standing and/or walking in the road, looking at you like you need to get out of THEIR way.

But eventually we got to Dumfries, returned the rental car, and took the train to London.


 Today we went to the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Natural History Museum, which are conveniently next door to each other.  Of course, each one is about 3 city blocks in size plus several stories high, but they are close to each other.  Here's the V&A:

After museum-ing it we went to Harrods where we ate a late lunch and did some shopping.  Didn't buy much (much of it is way too expensive for us) but had some fun. 


Tomorrow evening it's time to try to fit everything into our bags for the trip home.  Luckily I brought a nifty duffel bag that my daughter Jessica gave to me.  It zips into a little square about 2" thick and 14" square.  Unzip it and it's a medium-sized duffel bag.  viola!  Instant baggage happiness. 


Ready to wind up this trip and head back home.
