Tourist bonanza: Science World

We ventured to Science World - a fantastic place for kids and also for Charlotte & David as it turns out.

The museum is designed to teach kids about science; we used it to play games against each other.

My favourite was the Hamster Wheel where you had to run as fast as you can to generate energy:

Meanwhile, David was having a blast on a giant size computer that senses your motion:

We then went head-to-head on a few competitions:

• Who was the calmest? I won, despite us both thinking David would
• Who had the strongest grip? David won, but only by a point - it was close!
• Who was the bendiest? I won, not a surprise
• Who could jump the highest? David won, predictable given he's a foot taller than me
• Who had the quickest reaction? I won twice - delighted with that!
• Who had the strongest arm strength? I won the first game and David was adamant that the machine must be broken. So we swapped sides and he was right; he won the second game by a long way...

We then went to the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition, which is only on for a short time at Science World. It was inspiring - incredible that one person could be an artist, scientist and inventor in only one lifetime.
