Wow! That was quick!

So that was quick!

Here are the other photos I promised...

First Hyde Park & the Science Musuem...
Where I'm staying is just oppposite Hyde Park. I was meeting up with Renee, Benji & Nick to go to the Science Museum (coz an Aussie girl B&N met at the Lowlands Festival works there). THe Science museum is on the other side of Hyde Park from me so I decided to walk. It was lovely. Fountains, Peter Pan Statue, The GIGANTIC Royal Albert Monument, and fields of dogs and squirrels running around teasing each other. Hmmm :)

The Science museum was really cool. Really huge, full of spaceships (inc Sputnik! My Favourite Satellite!) and science things. There is a pic here that shows a jumper on a table next to a sheep. The Jumper is made from Dolly's wool. It's a clone-wool jumper! The two sad looking kids are early crash test dummies. Because B&N's friend worked there, we got to go to the IMAX for free and saw a 3D under the sea movie, narrated by Johnny Depp & Kate Winslet, with a crazy sound track by Danny Elfman. THere was footage of Humboldt Squid eating stuff! They're not GIANT squid, but they were about 6' long. Big-ish I guess.

So that was only yesterday. But on Sunday, at a loss for anything else to do, I decided to hop over to Shoreditch and go to the Brick Lane Festival. So, it turned out, did 60,000 others! Then as I was about to leave, I met up with Benji and his two English friends who he's been staying with. They bought a football and a stuffed dog. I bought an awesome card and some awesome food. Then on the way outta there I took some pics of the local street art. Local street art is pretty cool when Banksy's a local...check out the rat and the Pulp Fiction Banana's.

So yeah. That's about the size of it so far. I'm just gonna go meet Renee now and we're going to the Natural History Museum. If it's good I'll post some pics orright?
