How fantastic... only 1 day into the 4-day Easter holiday weekend, still one long weekend left!
Yesterday was museum day - V&A and Vinopolis - in what turned out to be a very long but enjoyable day out...
Original plan was to walk along the river by Southbank. Horrid and unfriendly and un-forecast rain cancelled that. After putting Plan B into effect for a while (that is, a return to sleep!), we bundled up umbrellas & headed to the V&A instead - Ashley for a general wander, me to check out the Modernism exhibit that's been getting critical acclaim. The show was impressive & comprehensive, and not surprisingly, crowded. However - looking around, I'm not quite sure I could tell the difference where 'modernism' ended & 'art deco' began, as from what i can tell they happened at around the same time (or at least overlapped)... perhaps I need to broaden my art history understanding!
We then headed out to Borough Market for lunch & a quick look 'round. Chorizo sandwiches at Brindisa - tasty, but a bit small... should've gone for the ostrich burger!
Finally we made it to the main objective of the day - Vinopolis - "a unique attraction dedicated to the pleasures of wine"... to be continued...
