Today we attempted to see Stuff the British Stole. It wasn't a huge success.

There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with the system. No point in having a display with no way of seeing it. I think I'd find the train station less challenging than those crowds 🙉
Traveler I must admit that it wasn't this bad everywhere, but this was our initial headache forming introduction. We sat down in the Cafe for 30 minutes and tried again. Level 3 wasn't too bad, but Ian still didn't feel great.

Traveler There is so much history to look at, 2 million years' worth of items and information. I did find it interesting that there is no charge to go into the museum, but they ask everyone to make a 5-pound donation.
Traveler I moved hotels today in preparation for my next tour. I have had a quieter day today. I am getting better at the tube and able to move around better. Still freaky but feeling better.
