Natural History Museum, London

Had heard a lot of the fabulous museums in London. So started off with the Natural History Museum.



It is indeed amazing. As soon as we entered we were greeted by a massive dinosaur skeleton. At least that is what I thought with my limited knowledge in such things, till we went close and read what was mentioned there.Yes, it was a plant eating dinosaur that lived 150 million years ago and was one 



of the longest land animals that ever existed measuring over 26 metres from nose tip to tail. It was called Diplodocus.



Then we went further up and met up with many more ancient relatives like the Arsinoitherium that 



lived around 35 million years ago and the Mesonyx that hunted in North America some 46 million years ago and of course the various whales.



That was indeed a fascinating walk down history.

On our return to our castle, we reached for the hundred and thirty year old brand of the finest scotch - the Black Dog to unwind in the magnificent history that we had evolved from.


Black Dog gently relaxed our tired bodies and showed what a perfect blend of single malts can do!

Cheers!

Enjoy responsibly!
