The British Museum was, how should I put it, overwhelming. There is just so much to see, one would need to spend several days to absorb it all. We joked with my wife that we could easily spend months there.
@hazardwarning Adding Kew Gardens to the list for my next visit. Based on yesterday’s walk in Kensington Gardens[*] the parks here are really wonderful.
I have liked the ”off” streets in Bayswater quite a lot. The overall feel has been calm and clean as there is not much traffic (compared to the main streets) and the houses are nothing short from beautiful (at least the facade is always kept beautiful).
[*] We had walked quite a bit already before we went there, so we wandered bit around and did not even go to the Hyde Park side of The Long Water/Exhibition Road.
@hazardwarning Our hotel is in Bayswater (Kensington), and it fitting to our current plans quite nicely. Greenwich is a bit off, so we will probably skip it this time. The same applies to the Science Museum, but thanks for the tips anyway!
Based on the TV forecast the weather will be nice throughout the whole visit, the rain will start (or should I say resume) when we leave the country. 😆
Greetings from London. I arrived early today for a 4-day vacation with the family (minus one 18-yo child who has exams he could not skip) and enjoyed a beautiful day walking around the hotel. Tomorrow we shall go to the British Museum, and on Saturday we will visit the National History Museum. We have no plans for Sunday yet, but we are very likely just sightseeing then. We will leave early on Monday morning.
@matigo Well, it has a 30-month lease, so it will not be with us for ”many” years. I prefer to have my cars from a leasing company, which means that the car is (relatively) new and the services are included in the monthly fee.
@matigo I was genuinely surprised that literally everyone in the audience sang along already in the very first chorus (🎶 Take on me… 🎵). I was super cool to hear.
Also, they got the whole hall sing along in the chorus of their interpration of A-Ha’s Take On Me, which was really cool.
It is darn impressive when a band performs their songs live better than what they have on the record. There aren’t that many bands like that, but I can confirm that Leprous is definitely one of them.
