Karen and I decided to see the British Museum today.
Popped into see Stephen on the way. He is busy getting work caught up before we leave for Europe on Wednesday so he stayed behind.
Once again navigated the London bus system successfully and arrived at the museum in a short time.
Thank God for phone route planning apps!
The museum is really impressive, too much to see the whole thing in an afternoon.
We concentrated on the Egyptian , Greek, and of course Korean exhibits and we also had a nice lunch there.
After close to 3 hours our feet were getting tired so we Ubered it home to avoid waiting at bus stops. Sometimes it is better to save some time than save a few pounds.
Uber back was only £11.
I was sceptical of Uber at first but have been won over.
You set up an account with your credit card and cell number then from the Uber app on your phone you tap to get a car and enter your destination.
It finds your location via the GPS on your phone and you can watch the cars progress on the screen as it approaches.
You get a picture of the driver and the car license number. When you arrive at your destination the charge is automatically billed to your card so no need to carry cash. Almost immediately after arrival you receive an E-mail receipt.
