The trip to London was an add-on from the Ireland part. Armand and I thought that it would be nice to revisit the interesting life we had in the dark, cold, wet but historically-endowed City of London.

The pub where we had a pint after our wedding (civil) ceremony.

Our flat - we lived on the 4th floor.

The Tube Station where our flat is located.

The London Eye!

We also visited the huge British Museum! One needs 2 or 3 days to see the entire exhibit and we just focused on the Egyptian Exhibit. Having seen the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, I must say that the Egyptian exhibit at the British Museum is fairly well done. The relics were nicely glassed with proper explanation. Very educational indeed (as the British would say!)

Ramses the III or IV (maybe)

The very controversial "Rosetta Stone". This is the original. Apparently, what Egyptian museum has is a replica.

These are the "Royal Shabtis". The Shabtis are magical creatures placed in private tombs to carry out tasks for the deceased in the after life.
