Back at the end of July, we had another visit from that lady of alician nature. Yes, she doesn't seem to get enough of us, and so had come back in order to get a bit of pampering.
So, a bit of shopping was in order, followed by a production of Anthony and Cleopatra in an open air amphitheatre on top of the business school building. Definitely something different.
Of course a trip to London was also in order. This time the weather held up, so we first went and saw a not-so-well-known city icon. Yes, you might know of Big Ben, but the odds are that you have never seen Little Ben. This little gem is situated right outside of Victoria Station and is another great example of what you can find if you go off the tourist track.
Then it was time to hit the museums. Well one in fact, but it's big enough to be counted multiple times. That's right, the British Museum was on the list for today. A quick visit to some of the newer exhibitions (like the Australian one) was followed by the Egyptian mega-exhibition. Working our way between the statues, and the crowds of people it was a relief to stop off in the great court to have lunch (taking in the amazing glass ceiling).
Before we had to leave this city, we still had time to relax in Green Park (although all the deck chairs were already taken), and enjoyed the sun whilst people watching.
So a great time was had by all, and hopefully a bit of culture taken in. Thanks Ali for a wonderful time !
