Heute morgen sind wir wieder mit der U-Bahn gefahren. Und bei Paddington Station mussten wir umsteigen …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning we once again took the tube. And at Paddington Station we had to change trains \u2026 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… und auf Toilette. Intelligente L\u00f6sung, nicht?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 and to go to the toilet. Intelligent solution, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Doch unser tats\u00e4chliches Ziel heute ist das British Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But our real destination today is the British Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Es h\u00e4tte auch interessante Sonderausstellungen gegeben, doch mit den Dauerausstellungen waren wir schon \u00fcberfordert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There would have been interesting special exhibitions as well, but with the permanent ones we were already overburdened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mit so viel, was es zu sehen gibt, haben wir mit \u00c4gypten angefangen. Hier eine Statue von K\u00f6nig Ramses II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so much to see, we decided to start with Egypt. Here a statue of King Ramesses II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wie detailliert die Hieroglyphen sind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How detailed the hieroglyphics are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hier die Gayer-Anderson-Katze, eine Skulptur aus Bronze. R\u00f6ntgenstrahlen haben gezeigt, dass sie tiefe Risse hat, die von der \u00e4u\u00dferen Schicht kaschiert werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here the Gayer Anderson Cat, a bronze sculpture. X-rays showed that it has deep cracks which are masked by the outer covering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Auch bei den Mumien sind uns Katzen begegnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the mummies as well, we encountered cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hier seht Ihr den \u201eGebelein Mann“, datiert auf ungef\u00e4hrt 3.500 vor Christus. Er starb an einer Stichwunde in der linken Schulter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you see the \u201cGebelein Man“, dated to about 3,500 BC. He died from a stab wound to his left shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir waren dann noch bei den Assyrern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then also took a look at the Assyrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Durch die R\u00e4ume f\u00fcr das alte Griechenland und Zypern sind wir auch …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the rooms for old Greece and Cyprus we went as well \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 und dann zu den Etruskern. Hier eine geschnitzte Muschel, 700 \u2013 650 vor Christus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… and then to the Etruscans. Here a carved shell, 700 \u2013 650 BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Torben und ich sind dann noch zur Uhrenausstellung. Hier eine Taschenuhr von circa 1580. Zu jeder vollen Stunde wird hinten drin ein Gl\u00f6ckchen geschlagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torben and I then also took a look at the clock\/watch exhibition. Here a pocked watch from about 1580. It strikes the hours on a bell in the back of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und hier eine ganz tolle Uhr von ca. 1585 in Form eines Schiffes. Es spielt Musik, f\u00e4hrt \u00fcber den Tisch …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here a spectacular clock from about 1585 in the shape of a ship. It plays music, travels across the table \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… und schie\u00dft sogar aus seinen Kanonen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… and even fires its cannons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dann haben wir uns wieder mit Renate und Dietmar getroffen, denn der Museumsbesuch soll einen w\u00fcrdigen Abschluss haben:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we met up with Renate and Dietmar again, because this visit to the museum shall have a worthy conclusion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir hatten den standesgem\u00e4\u00dfen \u201eAfternoon Tea\u201c gebucht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had booked the properly British \u201cAfternoon Tea\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lecker wars! \u2013 Doch wie wir uns dann auf den Heimweg gemacht haben, haben wir mitgekriegt, dass es jetzt regnet ☹<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was yummy! \u2013 But when afterwards we got started on our way home, we found out that now it was raining ☹<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Im Museum hatten wir ja Tee und Kaffee getrunken … und bei diesem Wetter wird einem kalt …  also haben wir sp\u00e4ter auf dem Heimweg den h\u00fcbschen Pub The Swan bei Hammersmith Station besucht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the museum we had drunk tea and coffee \u2026 and in this weather you get cold \u2026 so later on our way home we stopped at the pretty pub The Swan at Hammersmith Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sogar die Damentoilette war h\u00fcbsch 😊<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the ladies\u2018 washroom was pretty 😊<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ja, und dann sind wir im Regen zur\u00fcck zur Unterkunft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, and then in the rain we went back to our lodging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
