LUNCH WITH SARAH, IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM & WE WILL ROCK YOU!

Monday's post!
...because I dozed off to sleep...

Today I met up with Sarah who was down in London with her family. We had lunch at Bella Italia, which I haven't been to in ages. We went to the one at Leicester Square.
I ordered the Marco Polo pasta - tube pasta served with shredded duck, mushrooms and plum sauce. It was quite tasty until I got halfway through the dish and the sauce started to become quite sickening...
Service was really slow, from taking orders until requesting for the bill. Looks like a poor review coming up on Tripadvisor...


The National Gallery had a long queue outside so we decided to visit the Imperial War Museum on Lambeth Road.






Entrance is free and is definitely worth a visit. I've never been good in world history so this was a really educational visit for me. We spent about a couple of hours there and only managed to cover a few of the galleries - I did find the Holocaust exhibition to be really good, which told the story of the Nazi's persecution of Europe's Jews and other groups from 1933 to 1945.


We managed to grab some last minute tickets for We Will Rock You at The Dominion Theatre! - 40 pounds for stall seats which wasn't too bad.
11th year running at The Dominion Theatre, good show so go grab some last minute tickets sometime.
 


An excellent performance by all cast members, a good mixture of creativity and humour - I think we all enjoyed the playful banter between Galileo and Scaramouche. And not forgetting Khashoggi who was equally as entertaining.
I found it really easy to relate to the songs (I'm an 80's child, yeah baby!)
My favourite part must be the Galileo singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the end.  

Another musical ticked off my 'to'watch' list, yay x
