Two last stops and it is all over

Our last day was rainy and cool. We packed our bags and left them with the hotel then got back on the underground to Somerset House. I spent an hour in the Courtauld Gallery. They have a small but superior collection of western painting. It was quiet and I spent time alone in some rooms with the most incredible masterpieces.
We then travelled to the Victoria and Albert Museum where we wound our way through 2,000 years of decorative arts. I could spend a lifetime here - each room was more incredible than the last. After a couple of hours, we headed back to our hotel and picked up our bags.
Then back to Victoria Station to catch the train and travel to our overnight hotel at Gatwick. We are staying at the airport in a room that resembles a stateroom on a ship. It is small, silent and comfortable and we can see the tower out the window down the hall. We just have to take the elevator down and we are at our departure gate. A really great way to end our trip.
