London Day 2

Today I woke up refreshed and ready to go. I started my day with an attempt to eat at Jamie Oliver's favorite fish n chips shop, which is just around the corner from the flat, but they were not open yet.
I had big plans for today- The British Museum, the Grant Zoology Museum, and Wicked at the Victoria theater. The British Museum is HUGE! I spent most of my time in the Enlightenment, Ancient Greece, Assyria, and Egypt sections. After getting burned out on history and culture, I headed up the street to the Zoology Museum.
What a hidden gem! I saw dodo bird remains and the rarest intact skeleton in the world, the Quagga- a half zebra, half horse. It is striped in the front and brown in the back. They also had a mammoth tusk and mammoth hair on display. Very Cool!
Since the Zoology Museum was smaller than I thought, and I was feeling reinvigorated, I went back to the British Museum and stumbled across a history of money section and a room on clocks, both of which are subjects I really find interesting.
After the museum I headed down to Victoria Theater, right across from Victoria Station, to get my tickets for Wicked. Dan met me a little before the show started and we went to find our seats. They were "obstructed view" and we had the misfortune to sit behind a high school couple making out most of the time, but all in all it was a pretty fun experience. Show was quite good and the cast was excellent, but there wasn't really anything spectacular about the staging.
We got out at 10:30 and tried to find some food, but all the kitchens closed at 10. That seemed like a bad plan as they missed the after theater crowd. Dan and I found a "fast food" sandwich place called Pret a Manger that made everything fresh daily. I had a pretty good meatball wrap and a Fanta. Gotta have Fanta when in Europe!
