Science Museum

Whilst Dad was on a course in London we took the oppertunity to share his hotel room and have a few days down south.

Our planned walk along the Thames was rained off so we opted to go to the Science Museum instead, as the route from the Tube is all underground and dry.

In true form we headed straight to the cafe with all the information leaflets. Over lunch we planned out what to do, The Imax and ForceField movies were top of the list, so they were duly booked and we passed the time until our showing looking at a display of scientific instruments from the 18th Century (which fits in quite well with our planned Georgian spring).

From there we dropped into the launchpad and watch dry ice skating around on water before heading off to the Imax to watch a film about the building of the International Space Station. It was truely amazing and this week Moo wants to be an astronaut.

Then we had to run down 6 flights of stairs in about 4 minutes to get to the ForceField, a motion cinema which was showing a film about moon landings - we got a surprise when we splash landed back onn earth.

After that we had the obligatory visit to the 'little shop'(Dr Who quote :)where we bought books and a chemistry set, then back to the hotel.
