Sala de espera en Heathrow


A la vuelta de la última vez que fui a EEUU hice escala en Heathrow. Era muy pronto y la sala de espera estaba vacía. Creo que me tomé un cuenco de fruta y me bebí un zumo de naranja mientras que hacía tiempo para el vuelo a Berlín. Sin duda alguna, una forma mucho más cómoda de esperar. Me pregunto como será el de primera clase.

South Kensingon - London


After spending the afternoon in the Natural History Museum, we came back to our car and it is not possible to wonder how life would be in one of these magnificent townhouses (I guess a lot of walking up and down the stairs).

National History Museum - London


I believe this is the one Miss Missing was referring to in London a few weeks ago (I don´t think the British Museum has any whales). I agree it is not as impressive as the one in New York, and the exhibition is just a bit too crowded for my liking. 


Admittedly, I do not like this photo. The stitching did not work well with the giraffe (too close) and the skeleton above the whale, but I thought it would be nice to include it because of the comment (just to prove that I actually do read the few comments that I get).


By the way, I noticed that one of my pictures appears on the first page of results in a search engine when typing natural history museum london.

NHM II

Decir que había mucha gente es quedarse corto. Mereció la pena, sí, pero con un par de miles menos de personas habría sido más tranquilo. Y más fácil si tenemos en cuenta que íbamos con un carrito.

There were thousands of people pretty much everywhere. The only quiet place we found was, oddly enough, the cafeteria downstairs, in sharp contrast with the long queues at the snack bar.

Natural History Museum - London

Una opción perfecta para un día lluvioso en Londres. Lo que más nos gustó fue el Attenborough Studio, incluído el comentario de un niño que celebraba su cumpleaños ese día y cuando el presentador le preguntó su edad, él contestó: cuatro y medio!

I like this building and looking at the main hall, I cannot help thinking of Harry Potter...

A must for anyone spending any amount of time in London. If time allows, make sure you also visit the Attenborough Studio. The other item that is impressive is the full scale blue whale, in a way even more impressive than the one at New York (didn´t make it into the set of NY photos though).
