Sep 22
Catching up with the past couple of days:
Friday - quick grocery shop, London Eye, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, dinner, and collapse back at hotel.
Yesterday - Globe Tour, back to Science Museum for the "Powered Up" gaming exhibit, over to the V&A for a while, detour in search of squirrels in Hyde Park, then a shopping run to Foyles, Forbidden Planet, and Hotel Chocolat. Dinner & then back to hotel to collapse.

Notes: The Globe Tour was also Mr12's idea, and was a nice change from all the museums. Bookstores in the UK are dangerous, even when we were trying to restrict ourselves to only things that might not make it to Australia, or at least not anytime soon. From this point on in the trip, our smaller (of 3) suitcases contained pretty much only books. The squirrels were Ms9's desire, and we did see some along the way. First dinner was at a small Chinese restaurant near the museums, second dinner was Zizzi.
