On our last full day in London we started out by going to The British Museum. It’s an absolutely huge museum full of ancient artifacts from all over the world. It would probably take more than a full day to see everything in it, so we just focused on the pieces from the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. We saw Cleopatra’s mummy, pieces of Assyrian and Babylonian temples and walls, Greek and Roman sculptures, and the Rosetta Stone. Those were just the highlights, and we didn’t stay as long as we could have.

After leaving the museum we headed over to the London Zoo. It was less crowded than some of the other attractions we had been seeing, so we really enjoyed being able to walk quietly through it. They had a pretty good selection of animals, but the best part was how closely we were able to view them. The tigers were just on the other side of some glass, less than a foot away from us. We saw komodo dragons, Galapagos tortoises, meerkats, lions, giraffes, zebras, ring tailed lemurs, and gorillas, but our favorite was probably the tamarins. They were super cute and had a couple young babies that would cling to the backs of their parents.
