19.9 London

Ay mates!

Mark5
 Some of you, who knows me a little bit better, knows that Im interested in WWII. Well, there just happens to be a Imperial War museum in London! *whoaaaah* I almost wet my pants as I entered the museum. There were a couple of the worlds most famous WWI&II tanks at the lobby! The Mark5 (WWI) and Sherman and Jagdtiger from the latter. You dont realize the size of those before you stand next to one. Humankind has always been genious, when it comes to killing eachother. Of course there was the Pak88, British 5.5 pounder artillery and so on.

Jagdtiger

There was this whole section about the holocaust and the ghettos. Been in many of those already ( in other museums I mean), and once again, tears started pouring from the corner of my eyes.
Anyways, great museum. These pictures tells a lot more than my words. Youngsters, dont ya ever forget the horrors of the war! <-- educational advert! ;)
Yeah, dont rush me, I did go to the British museum also. What can I say about it. Its huge! It has everything you can imagine, and some more. Wasnt a place for me though, but those of you who love the pottery and jewelry from thousand of years ago, its THE place to go.

Pak 88
 This particular day, I only used the tube. So London underground is now officially done! Tsek.

ps. I ate my first decent meal of my journey this day. Pasta with smoked salmon and cream. I have to say, that after all of those sandwiches ive had in last couple of days, it tasted absolutely fantastic =)

pps. this entry is written In a library of Oban. I, therefore, am now an official member of the Oban library! Im not gonna lend any of the books thou... ;) Im just spending time, and waiting for my bus to leave for a town/village called Forth William.
