We left Newport station about  2.30 and arrived in London about 4.30, times may vary as i did not  use my watch much, the weather was lovely and we walked from Paddington Station to  Hyde Park an on to Baden Powell House we had a  little look inside and took some photographs with Baden Powell's statue and than we found a fish and chips restaurant because we were  all hungry afterwards we walked on to the Science museum and had to wait a couple of minutes before  we were let inside ,we were all given a karri mat and told to find a place to sleep on the 2nd  floor on the side next door to the exhibitions it was  unbelievable.

Altogether there were about 3 50 children with parents and or leaders, lots of birthday parties and Brownies and Cub Scouts .Boys were sleeping on  the right side of the exhibition hall and the girls on the left. After  we put our stuff ready for the night we all went to our usher, we were planet Yellow and had to follow where ever we went, it was all go, we never stopped for  a  minute only about 8.30 for our supper. We saw experiments with nitro glycerine, made racing cars out of cardboard and a balloon and a kaleidoscope by the time we were finished it must have been about 12 o'clock midnight. After a little talk we all got into our sleeping bags in between the model boats which were about 3 meters long, the floor  was uncomfortable but we were to  tired. We were woken up about 7 o clock for breakfast, no washing up as it was not like bacon and egg. We all than ended up in the cinema of the museum and saw a 3 D film about the ocean  and Africa and all the wild animals it was absolutely fantastic.

Then it was time to go home we bought some things in the museum shop and walked back to Paddington station and waited for the train to take us back home. Thank you to Akela. Baloo and Chil, for a  lovely time the Cub Scouts of the 1st Bassaleg Cub Pack and Tilly.
