Upon arriving, I dropped off my luggage at Hostel #1, but I had to kill several hours before I could check in (read: nap), so I walked down the road to the Natural History Museum, which is awesome.
The NHM has a new “Darwin Center” which is pretty much everything a tech-forward museum can and should be. Really lovely. Here’s my favorite part of it:
Pics from today. I started out in the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), but it was too sunny and pretty to spend the day indoors, so I walked up to Hyde Park, where I wandered around for awhile.
After some deliberation, I took the tube out to Temple, which is an old monastery turned lawyer center. The old monastery is what intrigued me, and the gardens is what compelled me to go today. It was way more cool than I could have hoped.
It’s a little walled in city down by the river.
So I walked up along the Thames as I began the wacky public transport adventure.
More on that tomorrow. Am collapsing into bed.
