Third day in London: Imperial War Museum

We had a Easter Sunday brunch of German wurst and Leberkäse meatloaf, British 'Freedrom Food' eggs (to celebrate Easter), Dutch carrots (which I travel with as they do not squash), French 'poupon' mustard and Vietnamese rice (cooked in a proper rice cooker which I jealously covet and stupidly declined from my German cousins).
The Imperial War Museum, a lesser known, but highly worthwhile, was well recommended to me by Daniel. It covers British-involved wars over the last century. Downstairs, the First World War section had a 'Trench Experience' while the Second World War section had a 'Blitzkrieg Experience'. Both had excellent exhibits with a wealth of well-presented information and artefacts. The ground floor was littered with guns and tanks and planes. For those with more time, there is a Holocaust Exhibition and a Crimes Against Humanity Exhibition on the upper floors. Highly recommended.
Keen and avid readers will recognise the reference to Dutch boerenkol. Hint: see "Dinner at a Dutch family home".
That evening I watched Alice in Wonderland in 3D at Odeon in Leicester Square with some Dutch friends who also happened to be in London.
The cinema theatre's resident mouse, which timidly ventured into the aisle from time to time, was sure to come out to catch the Mad Hatter's tea party scene.

Then, in reverse order, we had ice cream, then dinner at Masala Zone.
