Science Museum

This weekend it was time for another trip to the City. We had heard a lot of very good stories about the Science Museum, so we decided to check it out. And what a success indeed. Mees and Lina loved it and so did we. And we are still amazed by the fact that all museums are free! A miracle in the insanely expensive city of London...

We only saw maybe 10% of it, so we will definitely head back. We opted for the space and aviation section of the museum (mummy is an aerospace engineer after all). But next time I would be interested in the medical and veterinarian part (there is a whole floor dedicated to that as well).

The earth

The moon lander (amazing what a flimsy looking thing it actually is -
makes you wonder if the guys ever thought they would really be coming back...)
 
Rockets!
 
Beautiful planes

 
Not a rocket, but a V2 bomb used by the Germans to bomb London during WWII
 
Time to go home!
