The Loot of Empire ... and I missed it.

The Loot of Empire ... and I missed it.

Damn my staff. How dare they? How could they? They went out to breakfast,waffles no less, and LEFT ME IN THE ROOM! Really! The nerve of it all!

They went to the British Museum of all places. They had a great time so I am told. Saw lots of things. Mummys, the Rosetta Stone, Greek Vases, Inca holy skulls, entire buildings the list just goes on. And to think they came home early without seeing the whole thing! Without me they are lost. No motivation or drive. Probably spent most of their time in the Pizzeria there eating pizza and calzone and didn't really get out do much apart from shopping.

And then they came home and had dinner. Pies (beef & ale and chicken & mushroom) with jam rolly pollys for dessert as well as a good deal to drink.

THEY will JUST HAVE to take me TOMORROW!

    Oh Harold, so long as they didn't then take the wolf with them. You're in a good position, though, to find another set of slaves to tourist with.

    O Harold. Do you realise that you had left your brother hiding in a cupboard and my place for the whole of their trip so you really have done well. Maybe they will take you to some other delight , though it cant be long before you have to come home to Oz. Ma

      Harold's only comment on his brother has been, "We do not speak of Howard."

A Final Outing.

A Final Outing. So as to make amends for their earlier mistake, once they had finished breakfast at one of the nearby pubs, a bus load of Germans had arrived unexpectedly just before us, the Entourage and I eventually returned to the British museum. The space I have does not suffice to describe the museum and just the items on display. A week may not be sufficient to take it all in and do it justice. A lot of small doses might be a better way but even then it might take a month. After finally leaving the museum, we walked towards Trafalgar Square, passing by a little shop known as the “Orc’s Nest”. True geeks out there will understand that this was the birthplace of the company “Games Workshop”. Purchases were made. Evil places. From there we enjoyed walking through the famous square, down to the Thames crossing it by one of its many bridges and reaching the London Eye. The party was a little concerned at its size and the huge crowd out front. We left and went in ...

Along the North.

Along the North. So after a light breakfast we bid our host, his dog, and his house (dating from 1750) a fond farewell and headed off into the Scottish ... fog. The weather did not appear to be co-operating. Also not co-operating was Charlotte. For a time it seemed that she was now tamed and directing us only down wide, double laned roads of some note. However it gradually dawned on us that she was only lying quietly whilst she inflicted new tortures upon us. With no narrow hedge rowed lanes to send us down, she instead sent us through every roundabout she could find. And then, when the opportunity was there she sent us down the narrow country lanes. This time she was able to direct us to, through and over some of narrowest bridsges, with walls mind you. Still we may have found part of the problem with Charlotte. At one point she directed us into roadworks for a new major highway that she clearly knew nothing about. And later when crossing the Firth of Forth she clearly knew not...

I walk the Line.

I walk the Line. Not happy with hotel and what it calls food. Marcus had claimed yesterday that they could not spoil crissouants, and then immediately regreted his call. So this morning the Entourage set off in search of a better breakfast. Just around the corner from our hotel Tony had spied a small Greek cafe that offered breakfast which we all descended on. They proved to do an excellent English or Continental breakfast and the orange juice tasted like orange juice. All were well satisfied. From there our path took us across London, and its many train networks, to Greenwich and the old Royal Observatory. Here we spent much of the day looking at both the Observatory, Planetarium and the cafe. From here we sampled even more of the London rail network to arrive at Crystal Palace park once site of the World Exhibition. The reason for coming here was that in the grounds of Crystal Palace Park are life sized models of prehistoric creatures, including dinosaurs, that had been creat...
