London has…
Plenty of stuff to see and do. We found cheap train tickets so we headed in the capital for a day. The aim was to eat food and see stuff and we succeeded. My favourite was the Rosetta stone in the British Museum. This stone is important because it was how we figured out how to read Egyptian hieroglyphics. It was amazing how much stuff is on display. We only spent a couple of hours there though, we figured we’d have to go back at a later date to look some more. Downside of taking the train to London is we have to ride home from the station (about 5 km). This isn’t a problem unless the rain is coming down… oh well, great day had anyway!

Rosetta Stone Early notice “do not stand forward of the bus driver”
What’s the thing about not standing forward of the bus driver-can’t he see around you? I gather it was raining when you got back and you got wet riding home? BTW how did the Rosetta stone get it’s name?

It was near where it was found by the French. But when the English ran through Africa kicking the French out they got the stone too.
