On Thursday the 24th we
took our final trip to London. The day proved to be a great one with
temperatures in the mid-70s and plenty of sunshine. We had the usual morning
routine; wake up at 7:30, make our way down to breakfast, then off to the train
station. We first went to the Museum of Natural History where we saw many
different exhibits. Some of the exhibits included were ones of Charles Darwin,
Alfred Wallace, general biology, dinosaurs, and many other different fields of
study. From there, we headed over to the Science Museum. At the science museum
we got to experience many cool exhibits as well. My favorite of them all was the 3-d printer
exhibit. After touring around the museum
for sometime we decided to have lunch at one of the little restaurants inside
the museum. Afterwards we went back underground,
to Piccadilly Station. From there we rode to Lambeth North Station, where we
got off and started our walk to the Imperial War Museum, which had newly reopened
the previous week. The museum was very cool, boasting all sorts of facts and
machinery to go along with it. We left for Southbank, an area right along the
Thames River with many different cool stores and restaurants. Southbank was
great. It was packed with people, right along the water, and seemed to be a
very fun place. We had our dinner, then went straight to the play we were
seeing: “Small Family Business” at the National theatre. The play was funny in
some areas but a bit dry in humor. All in all it was a very nice day and a great
note to complete our final trip to London.
