The next couple of days were pretty much a constant downpour, so we had to scramble the schedule a bit. Monday was an uninterrupted procession of museums, starting at the British Museum. We went a week before they opened the enormous new section in the museum's courtyard, which looked pretty cool. We spent a couple of hours there, mostly on the Asian collection and of course the very famous mummies. We then took a taxi to Oxo for lunch, which is a very good restaurant with great views from the South Bank over the city. Another reason we chose this restaurant is we have a friend in Bangkok who liked the restaurant so much, he stole the name and logo for use at his (now closed) Bangkok restaurant.
