During our first week in England Emma was battling a nasty cold which unfortunately for me I managed to catch this week. Consequently we have not been as active this week as along with the cold I have had a fair bit of work to catch up on. On Tuesday we visited the Science Museum in South Kensington. It bears many similarities with Te Papa in Wellington in the fact its very hands on and combines Disneyland style rides with scientific facts and artifacts. After the British Museum it is not as awe inspiring but the size and scope of the content is still very impressive. Inside there was large displays for every form of transport, medicine, computers and agriculture. Unfortunately a good proportion of the displays are showing their age but thankfully it does look as if the Museum is in the process of an upgrade.

The Science Museum

The Science Museum during the week is also a little difficult because of the number of school kids ranging in age from 5 to 17 that were there. We did plan on taking in an iMax 3D movie but there were just so many kids entering the auditorium that the 7 entrance fee did not seem worth it.

Emma dreaming of a replacement for her little Ford...

On the way home we called into Harrods which was down the road. I thought it was a little bit tacky and Emma was embarrassed because she was not dressed for it. It looked as if a lot of women were getting very lucky (and a lot of men getting very bored and poor).
