Today we met Melissa and Jonathan at their hotel in Russell Square. It was a great reunion. We went to find a drink and then we headed over to the British Museum. It was free, which is really what we like and we could've spent a whole day there.
As we are 5 adults--there is little way to get everyone to move in a group. So, we made a plan to meet at 11.45 and we divided to see the museum.
They have funny looking birds....

I love Egyptian Culture, I love Mesopotamian Culture. I was in Heaven.
Grafitti in the Ladies Room....

At noon, I was the last one to join the group. I didn't take my phone with me and I had no idea what time it was!I hate being late.
From the museum, we checked Melissa and Jon out of their place and we headed to the London City Airport for our flight to Kirkwall in the Okney Islands.
We're here!

Found the Bishop and Earl's Palaces. (Ruins)
It must be climbed.
By all the Horie's--Except Jonathan and I--we walked away.
I like my passport.
Jonathan and I found this sign. Only an offense when asked to stop.
The Bishop's Palace Ruin.
If you look REALLY close, you can see my kids shadow in the windows..

We stopped at an Indian place for a bite and when we walked out at 10:30, this is what we saw.
No where prettier than Kirkwall
