London, day 2
       |        |       | |
Today was a bit of a museum day, with a surprise (well, a surprise for the boys anyway) visitation by Uncle Simon. We all met up at the National History Museum and had a wander around, vaguely guided by A******'s activity booklet thingy and our map. As ever, it was busy, with some areas decidedly more busy that others. Dinosaurs and whales being particularly popular. We found this last time. As soon as you head for the . . . oh, I don't know . . . the Darwin section (or whatever), the crowds quickly subside. Is subside the right word? Anyway, we grew weary of the crowds and so headed for the V&A, of course. I like the V&A - it's so big that you can easily sit on your own, staring at some strange piece of iron-work on the 4th floor, and not be disturbed by anyone. So yeah . . . plus, they had these ruck-sacks for children, that contained a themed, guided trail around a small section of the museum. And it's all free and a short walk from our hotel. Love it.
