Afternoon Tea and Fun with Antiquities

Today we visited the Ancient Greek, Middle Eastern, and Japanese collection at the British Museum. The Museum houses more than 7 million objects, so it's really best to focus only on several collections unless you plan to camp out for the next year in front of the museum in Bloomsbury. The Egyptian collection was interesting, if not a little gross with preserved corpses and the like.

After the museum, we had afternoon tea with finger sandwiches and champagne at the The Orangery in Kensington Gardens (also home to Kensington Palace). My tea was a little pedestrian--I guess that's what I get for ordering the "classic". Ahmet's darjeeling was peppery and good.

Sunny days and nice weather so far. Not a drop of rain.
