Where we were staying

Swing! Yay!

We ate here today. It was rather good, actually...

It was absolutely p*ssing down today!

We visited the Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum after lunch.

This monstrosity was in the 'most venomous animals exhibit'

Skeleton of an ape

Tiger. Nuff said

Today we decided to strike out into Tring. We got dropped off near the town centre and as soon as the car started moving off, the heaven's opened and we were totally soaked. And I mean totally.

After drying off in the toilets of the Rothschild museum, we felt a bit peckish, so we found an Italian. We actually found it just in time, as the heaven's decided that they didn't like us being dry and tried again, missing by mere seconds! At first we weren't sure about the place, but the deluge outside persuaded us to stay.

It turned out to be very nice and the dish that I had was delicious. We headed back up the road to the Rothschild Museum and had a walk round the slightly...worrying exhibits. Standing in front of a massive eight foot polar bear is a bit weird. Especially when you consider that it hasn't blinked for over a hundred years. Oh yeah, and the tiger, dinosaur, crocodile, lynx and ape were all pretty unnerving as well!
