London day 6 was really fun on average. Our final day filled with two museums. The Science Museum is full of many fantastic things. The Natural History Museum is an amazing place to finish our trip in London. This was one of the best in all 10 days! Our hotel is right beside Westminster Bridge, walking distance to the 2 museums.

We first came to the Science Museum of London. It was established in 1857, which is 160 years from the current year of 2017. We learned a lot about steam engines and much more about engineering. It is famous for a lot of collections from James Watt and his workshop. There are also many more things.

The exhibits cover many science subjects. We learned about space, atoms, human brains and even emotions. We saw many metal crafts that were invented during the Industrial Revolution. Can you believe that the Panhard and Levassor Motor car was invented in the 1895?

The Natural History Museum in London is a huge museum with full of collections from all over the world. The famous Victoria and Albert Museum is nearby. There are many exhibits in the Natural History Museum. When you enter you might be scared of the meteorite that the escalator heads for. Relax, as it leads you to a world of exhibition about natural disasters. This may include volcanoes and other cool things. It is just so fun.

There are many other exhibits, like the Darwin Center or the mammal section. In the mammal's section, you can see aquatic or land mammals. In the Darwin Center you can see statements that Darwin made during his lifetime. My favorite animal dodo is there!

Dinosaur can be very fascinating, with the fact that no one knows about them or has seen them. Everything is ether a hypothesis, a skeleton, or a model. The dino are also very cool, because some of them can even move!

Westminster Palace at night

The night of Westminster Palace was beautiful as we went for a long walk before returning to our hotel. Here went our last view of the Thames River before coming back home. The lights on London Eye were as shiny as stars, and the food was so yummy. It was really sad that we had to leave.
