Springwaters' Wanderings

[springwater]

Really difficult to move around the narrow surrounds but apparently it gets alot more crowded when the weather is better.

Unfortunately pics weren't allowed to be taken in the majority of the more interesting places

Thanks dai sensei, the pics are just evidence of skimming over the top really, I'm finding there's just not enough time in the day to record all of this wonderful experience but it's fun trying though.

Righto, finally got my preciousnesses moving again and we all headed off to the British Museum among other things (one has to balance things out to be fair )

This place is a must see and deserves a lot more time than the three hours we devoted to it. Unfortunately, I'll have to mark this down as a DNF together with the Victoria & Albert but hopefully I can find the time to get back to both to see all the things that were missed first time around.

You may find it interesting to read about the museums origins here:
British Museum - General history
And:
British Museum - History of the collection

So without further ado, here's a little show of an amazing place with a few other pics of bits and pieces seen today, in no particular order.

Mind you, entry is FREE!

Hope you can see past the glare from the glass case in some of the pics

The Egyptian room was by far the most crowded with people so I only got a few pics, anyway got a strange feeling in there and got outa there.

Sorry about the order of the pics, I can't seem to control it so it' a bit of a hotchpotch

Hotchpotch continues, the strange looking thing is a Chinese crossbow mechanism

Thanks for the photos. Museums are definitely on our "to do" list for the 3 days we have in London before heading home mid June this year.
