My Monday off and took myself off to the city - Temple Station then a short walk down to Somerset house to check out The Tiffany Collection.
Nice view of the Embankment on the way.
Good spot overlooking the river to have a sit down.
Outside of Somerset House.
Main entry doors - very posh - complete with guard ready to empty my bag and check for explosives.
Big gold thing in foyer which I got in trouble for taking a picture of - no piccies allowed inside.
Lots of diamonds and rare gems and loud American matrons pushing their way through for a better look.
This is the one I want - some drooling on the glass on my part here.
This is The Tiffany Diamond - could pay the mortgage off with this one - actually could probably buy half of Sydney with it.
Left Somerset house and took off to find some lunch - passed The Savoy on the way - by the cars I saw arriving here, this is the place to stay if you can afford a real Tiffany piece.
Statue of Robert Burns in the Embankment Park - famous Scottish poet. (Steve: the only literate one we've ever met.)
The Embankment Park, grabbed a sandwich and sat on the grass and enjoyed the serenity.
More of the park - very pretty little oasis in the heart of the city, before heading home to do the ironing.
