London - day 6

We had to switch hotels today so a few hours of our day was wasted on that. The hotel we stayed in at first was nice but a little uppity for our taste. It was very expensive but thanks to Kim and Jeff who told about "cash and points" we got to stay there for a much more reasonable price. The second hotel, however, was recommended by Budget Travel and was hip, cool, and modern. The staff was very nice and helpful and they had a business center that didn't charge you!

Residential street:
First stop was Harrod's again, with their egyptian escalators (I don't know what makes them egyptian).
Inside Harrod's:
Here's my reason for coming back - I bought the blue purse as my own souvenir to take home:
Picture of Harrod's in the background (the big building all the way in the back), and a London taxi in the foreground (which you see everywhere).
The Hoxton Hotel:

After we checked-in, we went to the British Musuem:

Second to Egypt, Britain has the most egyptian artifacts in the world, most of them here:


Real live (or dead) mummies:

Unwrapped mummy:
Bodies of the poor were often dumped in the desert sand which actually preserved them quite well:
Later, they started putting bodies in wooden caskets, which didn't preserve so well:

Chinese heritage:



Afterwards we ate at a pub (again) then headed back to the hotel as we had to get up early the next day for our tour to Stonehenge.
