Froggies

Got up and headed for the Natural History Museum. Which had an exhibit on frogs! Lots and lots of froggies. All cute. Over 200 cute froggies. Only Joe made me go through that bit a bit too quickly. It was interesting, we headed in the back entrance, finally found where to go to sort out our tickets and, after much faffing and messing about, got tickets for three things: Frogs, Mythic Creatures (which for some reason included the dragon), and the planetarium show. We headed for the show first – Cosmic Collisions, narrated by Robert Redford – which was very good. I want to go to Mars for our next trip or the edge of the galaxy – that would be nifty.
After the show we headed to see frogs. Learned that even ‘true toads’ are frogs. Which is good. And saw loads of frogs. Little cute tree frogs, little cute poison frogs, little cute wax frogs sitting on a branch, big cute African green frogs, and American bullfrogs.
Mythic Creatures was good, Joe got into it more than I did. I think the one at the Natural Science Museum in London was a bit better, a bit more science. But it was interesting. We had to leave that to get to the airport.
So back to the hotel to get our bags, sorted that out and headed for the tube. Got the train all sorted and got to the airport to be confronted with the queue from hell. Didn’t matter that we were already checked in, we had to go through the queue. Except we were in the wrong queue and the correct one was a bit shorter. Except they kept sticking people in front of us. But we eventually got sorted, only to discover the flight is leaving three hours late. Ho hum. Sitting in a bar now just waiting. How exciting.
