British Museum

Today Jack and I started our local explorations again with a trip to the British Museum. There is currently an exhibition of the Terracotta Warriors on but tickets need to be booked a month in advance or we would need to queue at 7 in the morning. There is so much else to see that we will have to come back for that one.
The place is huge with the main courtyard covered by 3,500 glass triangles. We spent about 3 hours walking around, of which 1 hour was a guided tour and still didn't manage to see more than half of it. We enjoyed it though with the highlights being the Rosetta Stone and the mummy exhibits. Might even book tickets to see the First Emperor exhibition for next time.

We also managed to find a couple of Geocaches which I had pulled off the web before we left. Found count is now 10.

Also Tony came home today after nearly 3 months in Mozambique. Good to have him back.
