Free Day

Hi All, Mike here writing today's blog entry!
I first want to mention some stuff that happened last night after we wrote the blog. We had a fire alarm go off so we all had to evacuate the building, as well I went to a pub and had a beer. That was the second time that I went out and had one. Man are they ever tasty.
Today we decided to do all the stuff that we could do that was free, so we went to the Museum of Natural history, Science Museum, and finally the Victoria and Albert Museum.
On our way there we saw a lot of interesting cars such as Ferrari, Maserati, and an old jag. Here are some pics that some of you might enjoy.
Once we got the Natural history museum there was a very long line, we usually want to get there early so we could avoid these lines, however we slept in till 10 am. That never happens so it was nice that we did. The museum was full of people and interesting items. We first stopped off at the Dinosaur part, then went to the biology section which had a lot of interesting pictures and models of how children are reproduced. Josephine and Emily kind of averted their eyes during that section. After that we walked around and found the Darwin area which Jane enjoyed. We then walked around and enjoyed a wonderful area that Jen would have like. It was full of rocks and minerals. We wanted to visit the butterfly section however you had to pay and thus we didn't go.
The Science museum was full of interesting items and the part that I enjoyed the most and got a real kick out of was the cut out of a DC 3 that was from the Canadian Air Force. The cockpit of the DC 3 you could walk in and it brought back a lot of memories for me. Then above the DC 3 there was a Spitfire that was to die for. We went up to the 5th floor which held the veterinarian medical stuff that Josephine and Jane wanted to see, it was small but interesting. Across the hall was the medicine gallery which was full of interesting artifacts that were interesting and could be painful to the patient.
The V & A museum was very difficult to navigate around and it was hard to find anything so we saw a few things like the fashion gallery, and ancient Britain gallery. There was a lot more to see however we were on a mission to see the Bed of Wear which was mentioned in Shakespeare time. It was huge and ornate.
On the way back to our "home" we took a different route and saw the dealers where they sold all the fancy cars. Tomorrow is going to be a travel day and a day of meeting the people we are going to be staying with. We had a book of pictures that we were suppose to bring but it got misplaced some where at the house.
Well I have to stop this blog now because it is getting too long. Ciao for now Mike
