Natural History Museum

“Wait! Grishma! Come here. Stand right here. Ready?”

“Yeah…”

“Turn to your right.”

“What?”

“Turn to your right!”

“Oh my! What shall we name this mineral?! How about…”

Several bad puns later, my friend and I walk out of the treasure trove of minerals and towards the largest dinosaur-bone collection in the world.

“Hey wait, the world’s oldest human skeleton is here if you want to see it.”

“Yeah, sure.”

These kinds of conversations can only be had in one of my favorite places in London—The Natural History Museum. It's still as grand and wonderful as the first time I visited, and never ceases to leave me in awe. The Nettle Festival has unfortunately passed, but I couldn’t have found a better way to spend my day. The new exhibits were really interesting, and I got a chance to visit some exhibits I missed last time.

Oh, and I found a fossilized Lapras. No big.
