Platform 9 3/4 and the other stuff




This is for you Jordan Jones 

So basically I want to just straight up tell everyone that platform 9 3/4 is not between platforms 9 and 10.  Those stupid wizards think that they can just move everything around so that it confuses us dumb Muggles.  we originally looked between platforms 9 and 10 and this is what we found...


well i was just walking by this bike rack when i happened upon this wheel 
i just walked by the first time but since i had to go back the way i came because 
there was NO platform between 9 and 10 i saw it again and it hit me
WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD A PERSON LOCK A STUPID WHEEL
TO A BIKE RACK? i mean who would want to steal a wheel
well apparently i was not thinking brilliantly because it hit me
WHAM
it is not that they would lock up a lone wheel, but it is that they were not
smart enough to lock up the bike, he only locked up the wheel 
upon further examination i laughed for about 20 minutes straight 
and took several pictures of the lone wheel locked to the bike rack 
what a sad sight 


Yep that is where it is SUPPOSED to be 

But finally after wondering about this huge station we found it! 

any guesses where we found it? 


Yep you got it 

in between platforms 10 and 11 don't ask me how that works because 
frankly i haven't got the faintest 

THE BEATLES MUSEUM (rather, the beatles STORE)

Sherlock Holmes Museum 




fun little traditional stops we went inside and enjoyed being in both places, however we didn't really go inside the museums because they cost money and we had heard they weren't all that great so we did not really go in to them we just chilled in the shops 



on the way home we decided to go and see the cricket playing courts and let me tell you ... after about 30 minutes of walking i was pleasantly surprised when the view was almost as good as the view we had at wimbledon... hard to believe i know



I tired to warn them that they were in our picture
i asked them to move, and i even tried to wait for them to leave
but all failed and here they are in my picture.  

and as you can see this is almost as good as the Wimbledon Wall 
that we saw but the let down is that there is actually a 
cricket related picture on this wall opposed to the 
"red brick" look at wimbledon...

 Behold Wimbledon

Flash back for those of you who do not remember 

We finished off the day with some of the classic "yes we are tourist" photos


Well of course there is two because you can't just take one 
tourist photo 



Here is a little laugh 
Found this in the British library gift shop 

P.S. this probably shouldn't be a P.S. but it is 
I went to the British library this day and i LOVED it 
this was by far one of my favorite places i have been 
i saw a lot of hand written drafts of authors such as 
jane austen, virginia wolf, and the bronte sisters
i also got to see some really old religious texts such as 
the codex Sinaiticus and the some of the original Gutenberg 
prints of the bible this was a major surprise because i wasn't
very interested in these things before i went but they had great
information there and it was extremely interesting 
I would HIGHLY recommend a visit to this exhibit if you 
are ever in LONDON

this post was not edited sorry if there are any mistakes it is not my fault
