The Cabinet War Rooms and the Churchill Museum,
The British Museum and The Sherlock Holmes Museum



Today offered us another opportunity to sleep a little later. So, after breakfast it was off to the tube station and in to the Westminster Stop. From there we walked to the Cabinet War Rooms and Churchill Museum:

We ate a little dinner at an Italian Restaurant on Baker St., them headed down to Trafalgar Square to do a little "People Watching" until it was time to go to the theater. It was interesting to see little kids playing in the fountains wearing only their underwear. We comment to each other that we wouldn't see that in The States.


We made our way to the St. Martin's Theater and picked up our tickets to Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. This is the longest running play having been in production since 1952.



Suz had seen it back when she was a teenage, but had forgotten the plot. This play has the ultimate plot twist, but you'll have to go to London to see the play as we were sworn to secrecy.


Finally we headed back to the Hotel to turn in as our alarm was set for 5:15am (12:15am Florida Time) and the taxi would pick us up at 6. Tuesday wass a terribly long day. We landed in in Atlanta at about 1:00 pm, and took off for Tampa at 3:05. Touched down in Tampa arounf 4:30 and were home by 6. It was a L-O-N-G day, but it was good to be home.
