One of my favorite museums in London is the Natural History Museum. If you want to get there from Equity Point London Hostel, there鈥檚 a 20 minute pleasant walk across Hyde Park.

The Natural History museum in London has over 70 million items distributed in collections about Botany, Entomology, Mineralogy, Paleontology and Zoology. But obviously the museum is famous for the incredible amount of dinosaur skeletons. As soon as you get into the building, which is an incredible 1881 creation of Alfred Waterhouse, you get trapped by the magnificent Diplodocus that presides the hall. Then you can enjoy all the different dinosaur skeletons and reproductions of the Museum. Read the rest of this entry »

The rendezvous was at 5 o鈥檆lock and we welcomed our guests with a glass of Catalan cava. It was a great pleasure to see that some of our colleagues from other hostels, suppliers, and friends were there to share with us this great moment.
