Had a very pleasant day not doing too much.
After a terrible night due to some very polite but extremely inconsiderate kids, I went on the local free walking tour of the West End. I learned a bit and had a nice walk so that was great.
After a sit down, I rode the metro to the British Library. It’s a research library which is just as impressive in its way as the British Museum is.
The library has
- A copy of the Magna Carta
- At least 2 Gutenberg bibles
- A collection of hand written Beatles lyrics by Paul, Ringo, and John
- Hand written sheet music by Mozart
- A 2nd century papyrus letter supposed to be written by an evangelist
- Robert Scott’s diary of his expedition to the south pole where he describes his disappointment at getting there second after Amundsen
- And more. Every item of it just as ridiculously awesome as the last.
Also the library had several temporary exhibits that aren’t too shabby either.
So all in all a great day. I walked, a lot, and saw a few cool things.
Bye til later
