This room was quiet and so much better, I slept well. My ankle has swollen up a bit and is quite painful, but after a good breakfast and rest took the coach into the city today. I got the undergrounds to the V &A, such a long walk along tunnel to get there, which wasn't too great today. The Beatrix Potter display was on the third floor and was actually very disappointing as it only had about ten drawings and paintings. They were very good though, loved this little mouse.

Looked at a few galleries, costume, jewellery and sculpture. I thought this silver swan was very impressive.

I decided that as it was such a clear, bright day I would make my way to the Shard and then back to the hotel and not wait to be brought back by the coach. On the underground some lads came on and were playing music, they were great!

The chap with his back to me was playing a saxophone and the one in the jerkin was the singer. Mostly appreciated and they got a reasonable collection! At the Shard I went to the loo on the 68th floor, that was an experience, this photo was taken while I sat on the loo!!

I got another visitor to take a picture of me, that was good.

I have had a swim and will rest now as my ankle really is quite sore at the moment.
