London the third

Museum visiting and sustainable tourism places discovering third time in London went pretty well.
I missed the conference because of the plane delay, but I witnessed so many wonderful things:

Natural history museum: the colonial power of Great Britain accumulated this vast treasure from all the corners of the world. The Natural History Museum is a beautiful enormous place and worth the visit:



This is it from the outside, from the inside, it unravels beauties like dinasours' skeletons, stuffed animals, evolution proofs, etc.



When on the inside, you pass through the simulated core of the earth to the volcano and earthquake exhibition. Beautiful and scary.



There is a whole collection of all existing hummingbirds and with a lovely display:


And, of course the dinosaur waving goodbye at the exit:



The science museum is just next door drom the Natural history museum:

and the beautiful Da Vinci exhibition:



The cosmonaut exhibition  where the first rockets that went to space are displayed:



and guess what this is:

The Lajka pod:



It was short, but sweet unexpected visit to London.

Film Ouarzazate

A six hours trip through the Middle Atlas mountains to Ouzarzate was peculiar. It was in the middle of the day, thus it was extremely hot. It should have lasted for a little bit more than 4 hours, but there was some troubles with the engine. Spending three nights in the desert got us fully equipped with patience and we didn’t mind it. The driver didn’t inform the passengers of any strange activity, he just slowed down driving down from the mountain.

We entered in the city with broad asphalted streets, colorful buildings (red and apricot were the dominant colors). It was all very familiar, I suppose from movies. Lots of productions took place in the city, Mission: Impossible, Game of Thrones, Lawrence of Arabia, and others. So, of course, having two days there we went on a mission of visiting all of the studios and film museums. Funny enough, our mission was impossible, since all of this places were occupied by film crews, filmg something. Some film, I presume. We were given no information.

So, we decided to turn to the sights. It is a little charming city. I started noticing how the color of everything is arranged to the detail in every city. At first, I thought it was all chaos and dirty, but now I started to see the difference between the cities. For example, in Casablanca, the main color of the houses is white with green roofs and mosaic colors that are found everywhere in the city are blue and green. The taxis are of red color, which gives a nice contrast. In Fes, the houses are mainly yellow or beige, with dominantly blue mosaic decoration and red taxis. During our bus trip, we passed through Meknes, where taxis are bright yellow, and now, in Ouzarzate, you are souronded with bright red, pink, orange hoses with mostly white decoration, and the official color of the taxis is beige. The Moroccan way, seemingly disorganized, nut everything carefully matched.

Having spent the second day, I was looking foreward to yet another bus trip through the High Atlas Mountains. Seeing the pictures of steep slopes and narrow roads, this should be interesting.
