Eden

Spent Saturday at the Eden Project with old Bob. Actually, I spent most of Saturday traveling to and from the Eden project with old Bob. Yup, left on a very nice charter train at 6am, got back at midnight. Was it really worth traveling all that way for two and a half hours in a greenhouse? Probably not. That said, the Eden project is architecturally stunning.

When you first see the biodomes nestled in the old quarry you do go wow. And look around for Daleks just in case. So we raced around the domes. As you'd expect, there are lots of plants. Its fairly crop centric, so there are lots of useful plants. Its probably very informative if you have time to read the signs.
Its certainly very warm and sweaty at the top of the tropical dome. I definitely could have done with a few more hours there. Obviously, when it was first planted it was a bit sparse. So the place is scattered with freaky statues. I'm a bit of a statue fan and some of these were great. And some were not. Still, I bought a couple of cacti in the gift shop, had a few beers on the train, all in all it was a good day out.
