So I’m sitting outside the London Science Museum waiting for it to open. Getting here, I just had a nice walk through Hyde Park from my Hotel. On the way I’ve seen lots of cyclists, joggers and moms pulling or sometimes pushing small children on scooters. Strangely I’ve not seen any roller blades, skateboards or roller skates.
Updated on the lack of skateboards, just saw a guy on one, and it was motorized so that may not really count.
The Science Museum was pretty cool, well the levels that were not crawling with school children. I just avoided the floors that had the “hand’s on” activities.

The National Art Museum was very interesting. I can see why some painters are famous. Some of those paintings could pass for a photo from a distance. Sadly you can’t take photos in the museum so I have nothing to show. But I liked the work of Paul Ruben and Monet. I bought a 95 piece puzzle of “Water lilies” by Monet. They have a cartoon by Da Vinci that seems to have been the beginnings of a painting idea that never got painted. The painting “Sunflowers” by van Gogh was on loan to a Museum in Amsterdam. I only mention that cause of the van Gogh paintings in the museum, it was the only one I like 😦

On the way back from the Art Museum I tried to stop by and see Sherlock, but as you can see the queue was a bit long.
The line to get into 221B Baker Street.
