Today we went to the National Space Centre or 'the bubble' as N has renamed it.
It was VERY busy and very noisy inside
We did see this space toilet. The yellow spout is for the urine, which is then purified for 4 days for the astronauts to drink.
N finding out what its like to jump on the moon.
We went inside the planetarium show 'We Are Astronomers', which was very good.
We popped next door to this little 'free' museum
The sewage water treatment works - never has the phrase 'they don't make them like this anymore' been so true - its beautiful
inside there were lots of bathroom based things to look at - a kind of bathroom through the ages...
there were also zoetropes and phenakistoscopes to look at which was great but bizarre in a pumping house museum!!!
We came home very satisfied with our few days away. N was sad to leave the hotel but eager to see home, her Daddy and her pets again. I was very grateful for the opportunity to borrow hubbys SatNav while we were away, it was great to help me find all of the different places - even if it took me on the most far reaching routes to get there. Never mind - how would I know of places such as Sheepy Magna and Barton On The Beans if I hadn't had the scenic tour!!!
