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

Alrighty then! Due to a very good point raised by Hati Elsewhere (that just about all of the people going to the meet can get to London to see what they would like to much easier than I can), I've decided what I want to do during the day on Saturday, and everyone's invited to join in!

I'm going to be (possibly) overambitious for the daytime portion of the meet...

I'm planning on going on the Brunel tour (starts at 10:40am at the Embankment Tube river exit--meet 10-15 minutes beforehand). That's supposed to take about 2 hours, and includes a boat ride, which is less than 5BPB for adult tour members (I didn't think to ask about children or seniors, but I think it's safe to say that they certainly wouldn't be *more*). That ends around 12:40 (call it 12:45 to make time math simpler )at the Brunel Museum, near 2 transport options. According to Google, various transport options take about 30-45 minutes to arrive at Russel Square Tube station, which is where the tour of the British Museum meets (starts at 2:15, so say 2:00 for time math). That should give anyone going on both time to have a quick, late lunch, though packing a lunch and eating at Russell Square might be best, time-wise, though, if we can swing the time, the Mayflower Pub is near the Brunel Museum, and there are also choices at the Russell Square end. *That* can certainly wait until closer to the time, though, following studies of timetables... That gets us finished touring by 4:15 or so, and I think Ill likely be up for kicking back and relaxing until the evening! So I'm thinking V&A Friday night--I actually emailed them this morning (my time) to find out which galleries are open late on a Friday, though, so if the answer is "most of them close at the usual time" I may rethink that.

British Museum has a statue of Hapi

So a photo of you looking at your otherself is a must

Definitely!

the statue is not quite like the original

Hopefully not

No offense. You may be quite handsome, darling, but we already have pictures of you

.. it's the I suppose .. Hippos don't have other sixpacks than the ones in the fridge

Which is exactly why we you, of course

Is it possible to have an itinerary breakdown of days and venues just so I can get my small brain around what is happening, where and when please?
