A Day at the Natural Hsitory Museum and Jack the Ripper This is an awesome place. Sara would hav told you about the Dinosuars but it deals with every living creature and also about geology, biology, physics. Some of the pics some us in an escalator simatating a jourrney through earth's crust. We were knackered after covering the whole museum.
One thing that caught me was a the power of observation and how poor we are. We watch a movie of a robbery and asked specific questions which you get wrong. They then tell you the answers. No wonder, police out there question you hard, and over here, make their own answers
Again Museums are dehydrating, I was panting for thirst half the time! There used to be a huge whle suspended from the roof. Alas , he is undergoing restoration. Don't miss him next time around!
Some pics
We returned home and we both went to the East End for a Jack the Ripper walking tour!
This is a well researched tour. The guide knows his stuff and takes you around to the murder sights in the poor East End and shows you the gory pics at each location. Morbid - the damp, rainy dark weather adds to the scene. We pass Brick Lane - amazing how it has evolved from a poor english suburb to a Jewish now Bangaldeshi area. I did not take the camera as it is a bit dodgy, security wise
Ironically, it reminds me of our cities, squalid areas with modern office blocks slowly invading it.
We go to the Natwest Tower for dinner and get throughly soaked
