The Map Room at the Cabinet War Rooms

We slept through till almost noon before making our way out to visit the Churchill Museum and the Cabinet War Rooms. Hubby has always been interested in the World War II and the events and characters involved in the war. We had a light lunch inside the canteen of the Cabinet War Rooms where it had really been used as a canteen during the war. They had very tasty tomato soup and bread. The chocolate cookie I had with a hot cup of cafe latte was delicious too.

Tower Bridge from the cruise

After Churchill Museum, we went to take a cruise along the River Thames and had a magnificent view of the Tower Bridge. In the evening we met up with V and D at the Tower of London and went for dinner at a Spanish tapas bar in Soho. The food was great! We were lucky to be there early and got ourselves seats because the place was soon packed with people waiting for seats behind us. It was Saturday afterall, so we went for more drinks at Cocoon, a stylishly decorated restaurant and bar recommended by D. The girls there were really dressed to kill and most of them looked absolutely gorgeous. Even though V and I were not dressed up to their standards, but being the only 2 Chineses girls around, we still had our fair share of attention from the gweilos. Not bad at all! *Cheers!*
