Anyway … back to our story … We left our hero and heroine in the Assyrian section of the British Museum …
Ooooh … What's down here?
We find a little staircase behind the Assyrian Sphynxes that looks like it doesn't lead anywhere. Curiosity kills us cool cats so we go down to the basement to find a new exhibit of lots of Roman statuary from Ephesus. Cool!
Hmm … A room full of statuary with nobody about and no security guards?
Bear finds out that Romans give good head … er.So while he's getting seriously into the history thang and the way the Romans simply took the Greek Gods and gave them new names …
… Ame morphs into … Ta-Daaa! … Lara Croft: Tomb Raider!Hey, looky! She's got Lara's rucksack and a roomful of antiquities to play with; what's a girl to do?
"Woohoo! What's in this one?"
No. I'll resist the temptation. You can provide your own captions for this one.
Caught short in the British Museum? Don't worry; there's always a loo within easy reach.
This is what you want! I know you lot.Ame gets into character and behaves in an impeccably British ladylike manner.
"What's this one say?""A woman reclines on a couch holding the bust of her dead husband."
"Eww! That's kinda icky!"
At last! Ame finds the Holy Grail!Check it out:
Baps AND a peepee on the same statue!
Ame meets and greets the original Hermaphrodite.
"Yaay! Baps and Peepees!"
We only had time to "do" a tiny amount of the British Museum. Probably just as well for the rest of the exhibits …
And then we walk back through the tat-fest that is Oxford Street and finally reach Marble Arch and the comfy sofas of the Marriott.So farewell - for the moment - to the lovely Ame and the wonderful Bear.
I decide to walk the pretty route back to Liverpool Street Station, so I head off through the darkened and deserted parks.It's been a lovely day out with the guys, so I just amble along through Hyde Park, Green Park and on into St. James's Park.
This is the Eye (all lit up red for Comic Relief Red Nose Day) reflected in the lake in St. James's Park.
London at night is pretty wonderful. Though I did get accosted by this lady (just up ahead in the photo) asking me to join a "sleep rough for the homeless" night.I probably should have joined them because my train broke down and it would be another four and a half hours before I got home to my yummy old bed.
So many, many thanks to Ame and Bear for a pretty damned wonderful day out.If any of you other reprobates fancy a visit, just let me know.

I told Ame I wished to be a fly on the wall during her UK holiday ... thanks to your incredible blog, I feel that I was there! Thanks so much for the fantastic pix and commentary! Ame's Sis, Brenda
I hope nobody lets this go to their head :)
I am so green with jealousy now. I wantto go to the british museum. far more interetsing than looking at ink blots. Oh well maybe next year.
You guys look like your having a ball.
much hugs xoxoxox
That's so sweet of you, Brenda. Thank you. They're a lovely couple and I'm really looking forward to lunch with them today.
Hee hee, Nikon. No; I shall leave the DP'ing to those with far more patience and a better camera. Thanks for popping by to check on Crazy Ame's adventure.
And Kate, you know you're more than welcome any time you can get up here. And wear you hair pink so you can ride around in the pink taxis.
Thanks for all the photos and commentary Dive. It's been fun to watch along the way. Please tell Ame (and Bear) that their fans are awaiting their return. She seems as crazy in real life as in blog-life. That's nice!
I'll let them know this lunchtime, Michael.
And Ame is certainly a bit CRAZY, but in a nice way.
Dive, it looks like Ame and Bear are having a great time with you! I'll be haunting her blog for a pic of the tour guide...
Cheers Dive, keep playin'
Vic
Those pictures of London at night are just beautiful. Looks like much fun was had by all, and I know that Ame and Bear were in very good company too! I Lurve the big foot - there's one at Chatswoth, but it's dwarfed by this one! And the hermaphradite as well - puppies and pipes!
SHUT UP NIKON!!!!!!!!! ;))) xo
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!
Yes, I'm a CRAAAAAAAAAAZED GURL!
And Yes, Dive's VERY elusive!!!
And the most fun we've had the whole enTIRE trip happened last nite in a little crepe restaurant on St. James street here in downtown London...
Let's just say I came with a purse and wallet and cellphone and iPod Nano and sunglasses and lipstick and blush and driver's license AND every major credit card...and now?!? Now I have NONE!
Get the picture? H is ready to file divorce papers as he wasn't too thrilled to spend 2 hours in the Metro Police Station...where are those cyberpal PLOD when you NEED THEM! LOL! ;)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...anyway, trip so far has been awesome...and it couldn't had better press if I'd wished it myself...thanks DIVEY BOY for this kewl travel series!
You might start losing readers...don't know how long they can hang on...LOL!
OK, heading off to PickADoozy to meet that famous tourguide for lunch!
Cheers Mates!
;)

Crikey Charlie.
That's bloody terrible, Ame.
Where was Bear's stun gun?
Bastards !!!
Anyhow, it's not a coffee-table book you guys could make, it's a full length Movie. We're loving it and keep up the good work.
Should have been Camilla, not you.
I'm jealous of Ame.
Puppies and Pipes! Hee hee Pea!
And poor Ame! What bastards! Luckily, Bear had her passport in his pocket, but everything else is gone.
Some people are just rotten through and though.
Donations of new iPods are more than welcome over at Santa Clara DP.
Looks like they had a great time....great pics of your day at the museum.
Monsieur Dive,
On the subject of "normalcy" take a gander at this.
It doesn't explain Bush-speak, but it may be of some slight enlightenment. Read the English bit. However I still haven't got to the bottom of it all yet.
