No ninja packing needed

Today was nearly our last day - we fly out tomorrow night at 10pm so technically we have tomorrow as well. Tate was the obvious first stop for the day and we had a lengthy viewing of the Burne Jones exhibition - 2nd to last one it is still stunning and really noted some cool details in the pictures today. We then made a slightly poor decision to go to the British Museum - Sunday at lunch time really what were we thinking. Things have certainly changed and security is intense with very comprehensive bag searches. This means long queues but it moved fairly quickly. We went in and looked at the Waddesdon Bequest always a favourite had some really nice lunch and did a spot of shopping. We then headed to Trafalgar Square to see the Christmas Tree - better than last time and to check out the art on the plinth - The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist by New York artist Rakowitz. It was great from every angle. Went and checked out the National Gallery new gift shop much shinier than the old but left without purchasing anything. As it was getting darker headed into Oxford / Regent Street to see the lights. Randomly found the statue of Florence Nightingale which was great and an

awesome tree. The lights this year are angels and they are truly awesome. The streets were really busy and once again we showed poor judgement by fighting our way into Fortnum and Mason boy was it busy and folks were shopping up a storm. We then continued in this vein and went to Hamleys it was heaving with people, by this stage we realised we needed to head home and sort the packing so after a quick KFC - classy we know - it was time to pack. This went very smoothly and we are under weight and we are taking all our clothes home minus the boots that still have half a paddock of 'crap' on them. Tomorrow we are headed to Hampton Court and a final Tate trip before the long trip home. This will likely be the final blog post unless we find WiFi at the airport so to all those who have followed our adventure thank you and we hope you have enjoyed it. We have had a wonderful holiday.
