Madame Tussaud's

This place was *way* more fun that I was expecting! A large collection of wax models that in places are so convincing you almost mistake them for real people (at least, in the ones where they're wearing contempary clothes). Then there's the Spirit Of London, a kinda ride where you sit in a black taxi and see London's history. Finally there is the planeterium where they show a film projected onto a massive overhead dome. Pretty spectacular. This place is rather expensive and I was skeptical about whether I'd come out thinking it was worth my money. I still think it's expensive, but it was a great experience.

Samuel L Jackson is cool!	Girls dancing and stuff	Mmmmmmmmmmmm...
Gary looking a little too happy about being grabbed by the incredible hulk	Worthington, Jonathan Worthington...nah, sounds rubbish.	Chirac and Putin
Addressing the nation with Blair and Bush	So, so wrong, but had to be done.	Think we fit in with the royal family?
Ghandi, Martin Luther King and me	The Beatles	The first guys to walk on the moon. Oh, and me.
On stage with wax figures...	...gotta love the wig!	Steven Spielberg
You see, actually I wrote the works of Shakespeare then gave them to him...

Natural History Museum

We had a little spare time after visiting Madame Tussaud's, so we wondered over to the Natural History Museum and browsed the dinasours area for a while. I snapped a few of the models.
