British museum and some surprises

It's weird how the view of a city changes depending on the time you spend on it. London and I are starting to become acquaintances. And I'm re-visiting some places. This weekend I felt the urge of going to the British Museum again. Just for an hour. But I finally spent more than 3 hours.

I do love that the entrance is free!! there are so many free museums in London! I would like to encourage other cities to do so, free culture!

If you find time to visit the Museum just be aware it's going to be full of people, it doesn't matter when you go. It opens quite late (10 am) and for sure there will be a queue. What I do is just go through the security and run to the Egypt zone (floor 4th). If you manage to do it quite quickly during 10 minutes you will be able to see the mummies properly. After that you will have waves of people going through almost without stopping to admire what is there.


This time I had time to visit the Japannese part. Also nice.

I don't know for how long I got lost between corridors and and rooms... I think I decided to go out because I was too hungry and my stomach was dreaming about Pho (one of my favourite restaurants here).

November is being cold and dark. Once I finished my food the sky was getting dark. I hurry up to arrive at Neal's Yard before the sun went completely down. It's a nice place to see with somo natural light.

Life sometimes surprises you. And one decision leads you to a place and that place to another... and from Neal's Yard I finished eating free chocolate at Hotel Chocolat (buy some chocolate here if you can), which lead me to the other side of the street.... where one of the most freak shops of London were waiting for me. If you like manga or simply if you like to see this kind of shops where you can find so many different things... just drop you in.

My last stop of the Saturday was St Pancras old Church. It is supposed that it's one of the oldest churches in London, set up by St. Agustin. But if it deserves a visit it's because in its cementery, where murderers and suicides where buried (between others) there is a tree surrounded by a lot of grave stones. The rail way was constructed later and the grave stones where in the middle of the way of the rails, so they removed them and store them surround this tree. I went when it was completely dark, which, honestly, made it much more interesting. Entering in a cementery in the dark... it has some charm.
