Several glitches with our laptop and WiFi have really cut into our time in London - perhaps the cost of being too dependent on the Internet for information. A train strike was scheduled for the day we were headed to Gatwick, so I was a little panicked at not being able to check the site. Thankfully, we were able to board the Gatwick Express with no problem.


We visited the Tate, which we missed last time. I love the art museums, but always feel a slight disappointment knowing it would take days to begin truly appreciating most of these works. The Victoria and Albert Museum was nice, though Caroline seemed disappointed it was about their Majesties. She had watched the movie on the way over on the plane and has now added Victoria to her interest in royalty.


Speaking of her interest, we had to walk by St. James Palace just in case we might be able to catch a glimpse of the heartthrob Prince (That's William, not Charles ;) ). It gave me the change to take a photo of the girls in the exact spot I took it three years ago (see above)


Cameron opted out, but Caroline and I had dinner at Gordon Ramsey's Maze. It's a bit out of the way, but the food is fantastic, some of the best I've ever had in London.
