Monday: British Museum

Monday we didn't have as much time as we would have liked, but we wandered over to the British Museum-- the Tube experience to get to Trafalgar Square was a PAIN! We switched at Bank station and I swear we had to walk a mile in the transfer tunnels to get to the next train! I felt a little sad about the amount of time we had there, only a couple of hours, but when I realized I could spend an entire two DAYS in the BM I didn't feel as bad-- there wasn't any way we could have fit all that in!

Neptune near the Tower

Underground!

Freddy Mercury in Gold-- he would have been proud!

Really cool building. There was a Pizza Hut in the bottom-- I guess that happens when you're overrun with really awesome architecture!

MUMMIES!

The Greek and Roman rooms were extensive and really neat! I have "facial recognition" on my camera and it was SO excited to have faces to recognize!
