UK Minimeet

Well it was an early start for me as I had to get down to Heathrow to meet CyanRachel. After the customary 'oel ngati kameie', we made our way back to kelutral to drop off the baggage before meeting up with the rest of the clan. By now it was lunch so we made a pit stop in the shops to get some 'Om, yom, yom' before getting on the underground into central London

So here we are having lunch just before we set off to meet up with Hawnuyunaviae in Kensington to visit all the museums....well as many as you can fit in an afternoon.



Our first port of call was the Science Museum. There was an exhibit on Alan Turing, a rather clever bloke who had something to do with the invention of modern computing. A short walk through and before we knew it we were back in 1814 and looking at the worlds first steam locomotive. A bit further along and we our two of our computer gurus were admiring the first Cray super computer dating back to...1976! And here's a photo to prove it:



After only looking through 2 of the 5 floors we headed over to the Natural History Museum for a very quick walk round. Here's a couple of piccies.

This was the side entrance to the museum!



And here's the clan in there - CyanRachel, Human No More, Hawnuyunaviae and Tsyalatun. Moco Loco was nursing her foot as someone trod on it!. If you look to the bottom right you can see my legs reflected in the display thingy!



Poor old Cyan Rachel was suffering from the jet lag so the pair of us headed back to base for some shut eye with a loose plan to join up again with the rest of the clan for some evening entertainment.

And so that is the story so far... Tune in next time when we with be discussing how iron a Na'vi loin cloth!
