London. I was so overwhelmed I don't even know where to start. I'd been wanting to go there, to what I consider the Capital of Creativity, for ages. And I wasn't disappointed. I arrived to Luton Airport and took a train from there to St. Pancras Train Station (£22,50 return) . I knew I was staying somewhere close to that station, so I took it as a starting point. Black cabs and red double-deckers From there I walked randomly till I got to the British Museum (Free/Donation) . I'd heard about it, but I didn't expect to literally find half the world's historic items there! Qur'an at the British Museum Just as I started off in the Islamic room, I cam e across a 700 year old copy of the Qur'an. Then in the main hall a couple of black Egyptian Obelisks and the massive Lion of Knidos from Turkey (200 BC) drew my attention. I also saw numerous statues from Egyptian Pharaohs, many Roman copies of famous Greek sculptures amongst which was Lely's Venus. Final
