A day out in London Town

Having a baby means you can't just get up and go right? Wrong! We packed the baby bag with 3 bottles and plenty of nappies and we were off at 09:30 on the tube train.

First stop was south Kensington for the National History Museum. The last time I was here I remember looking up at the massive dinosaur in the great hall in awe. This time the dinosaur was smaller or I am just bigger and harder to please? Seriously it was still awesome and not awesome like a tasty American hot dog but awesome mouth open, eyes popping wow. We only had an hour and a half so we were almost running round. It's not often you see a grown up fascinated but my wife's face was a picture of amazement. It felt great watching her look around and to be honest I was enjoying myself too.



Before long the time was up and we had to leave the warmth of the museum and walk the long tunnel back to the station. After a brief tube ride we were at embankment and crossing the wobbly bridge to meet Dan, Hannah and Lilia. We stopped for a £30 coffee and sandwich and boarded the London Eye. Florencia and my mum were the least interested in going on the eye but were the most impressed by the experience, although I had been on before on a clear day I enjoyed pointing out all the sights but I thought £17 for 30 minutes was a bit much.




From there we walked the 50 meters to the Aquarium entrance and started the next adventure and this we really enjoyed. The walk round took about 90 minutes and I thought it was money well spent. Rays, sharks, tuna, jellyfish, sea horses, turtles, Nemo and Dori were just a few highlights.






Needless to say the journey home was busy, hot and we couldn't get home quick enough but what a great day we had. Thank you Vicki for your suggestions.
