i had a great day of playing tourist today. First, I headed for the Old Operating Theatre Museum & Herb Garret. But first you have to get there. The old OR can only be accessed from the old stairs to the bell tower.
On weekends there’s a program but I just had to imagine the horror myself. I recommend this fine little museum. Notice, not many visitors. No waiting. But there are those 52 steps.
Time for some refreshments. Off to the Borough Market. Where I find these lovely mushrooms.
Do the math. I did not have any mushrooms.
Time to get back into the tube and find The Grant Museum of zoology. This is fascinating collection of zoology specimens form the 1800s. Pickled, taxidermy or skeletons. It was great and no need to climb any stairs. They have skeletons of critters that don’t exist anymore like the dodo, Thylacines. And quagga.
After all that fun I returned to my lodgings and took a nap.
