Wednesday: Free Day, the last...

Wednesday was a free day that I took the opportunity to visit Holmes Museum on Baker Street and see more of the city.
No, I din't take the underground to get here, but the signage is perfect, don't you think? This is just a few yards from the Museum entrance.

And here is the street sign 
I took the bus to get here, but my camera was running out of battery so I only got a picture or two of the journey. I like travelling in the double-deckers!
The Wellington Arch at the west corner of Green Park
On the nice days the skies are beautiful!, even sometimes on the cloudy days.
I only visited the Homes Museum shop, although I heard the Museum itself is fun.


Selfie again, that's what you get when you travel alone! But look, blue scarf!
Jesica asked me to get a picture in front of the museum, (or was it 221b Baker Street?) well, I went to the Museum!
Later that day I went to a little shop on Strand Street that sells coins, stamps, and other collectables. It also has:




There was an entire rack, but only about 15 names from my family lines, so I got 9 little crests. Amazingly they didn't have Sloan or Lyons, but I'm happy with the selection I did get.

On the way back to the flat, again in the front top level of the bus, I caught this picture. 


I love how London is such a large layering of styles and cultures and times. Look at that old Victorian era brickwork and right under is a modern store. It is very easy to fall in love with this city.
