h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

... last Saturday, we drove past it again and finally, finally (praise be) said: "why don't we ever go there?"

So - this coming Saturday we're off to give it a go. Including the rocket thingy.

Yay! Have fun! (And don't you dare contradict me about everything later )

I suppose if you get up at a reasonable hour and actually get going, you *can* do both in a day. I've just never managed myself

I'll let you know how we get on

Good, good

We went today instead of Saturday because the weather forecast was good.

And it was totally brilliant, and just how you explained it. And more. A really good day out, but very expensive really.

The food in the café was good too - potatoes and some kind of sauce, 2 types of bread, what seemed to be vegetarian schmalz, boiled eggs, pasta salad and raisin bread. And Coffee to put hairs on your chest!

Oooh, glad you enjoyed it! Hope the Gruesomes weren't too grumpy about it.

You're right that it is a bit pricey, though - especially during the weekend. That's why I've only ever gone during the week (and paying for only one person with a student rebate)

Did you go see the Raketenstation, too?

we didn't go to the Raketenstation because we weren't sure if we'd manage it all in one day. But can you just go to the Raketenstation or do you have to go on one of their guided tours?

The Gruesomes are still in UK at the moment - but their dad, my was so taken with the place that he's going to take them again this week.

My work here is nearly done!

Oooh, those lucky Gruesomes, having a long holiday like that! (Just don't tell them it's a museum and they'll like it )

I think you can also just go in, but I've never been there myself; it's always been too much to do both in a day
