After poking around the Royal Observatory, I dropped by the Maritime Museum on my way back to the rail station. (Cause, I mean, it was there.) I was starting to get pooped at this point, but they did have a couple of neat displays -- a huge room full of models of all the different "ships of war" (back before this term meant "aircraft carrier") and a whole display devoted to Admiral Nelson. Got to see his very own goofy hat. :)
Headed back to town, had dinner, saw a play. (Jumpers, a Tom Stoppard play starring Simon Russell Beale. Beale is one of a handful of actors who I would unreservedly see in whatever play they happen to be doing -- and I dig Stoppard as a playwright something fierce, so booking this show for this trip was a no-brainer.)
Beale isn't the only such actor -- another is a fellow named Stephen Dillane, who I've also seen in a couple of Stoppard plays. (As they say in court, "Don't worry, your honor, I'll link up.")
On my way to the theatre, I had about a half hour to kill, so I stepped into the nearest HMV. Wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I thought I'd look at the local DVDs. (I have a code free DVD player, so I'm always on the lookout for Nifty Foreign Stuff I can pick up.)
