Last Full Day in London - and It was Definitely Full

Before I talk about today, I have to tell you about this amazing place we found for dinner last night. It's called Mazi, and it's a Greek restaurant. If you're expecting flaming cheese and waiters shouting "Oopa", you can forget it. The food was wonderfully presented and cooked perfectly. We had a couple of their jars which were starters. This is the grilled eggplant one.

And then we had the Courgette Cakes (zucchini)

And ended with the Grilled Octopus

In our delirious state, we tried to make reservations for tonight too, but they were already booked. I'm sure we'll manage to find another great spot. (BB, you must return. Food is great here!)

This morning after breakfast we headed to the Imperial War Museum. This is a wonderful museum, full of history that they make come alive. Lots of films and interactive exhibits. This would definitely be a great place to take kids.

Then we tubed over to the Natural History Museum to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit. There were some amazing photos there, and even the ones done by teens were impressive. Greg said it made him want to grab his camera and start taking more photos. Highly recommend this exhibit while it's here.

We had time to find a quick sandwich (and another Flat White - Greg's addiction is serious) and then we went to see The Book of Mormon. This is the only show where we bought tickets before we came because the performances always sell out. You won't find them at the discount ticket booth. It was a wonderful show and although I can see how there might be people who would be offended by the language, we weren't - and the audience loved it. It might be helpful to listen to some of the songs before you see it - just to get familiar with the lyrics. Or see it multiple times. There is just so much to it that it's hard to take it all in. (Take note here, NW and HT).

We're back at our flat now thinking we should pack but not wanting to. We leave in the morning for Portsmouth where we'll spend one night before getting on an early morning ferry to Cherbourgh. The weather looks grim in France for the next week, so we're hoping for a change in the forecast.

Farewell, London!
