Our next outing was to a Geological museum. At first, we weren't too sure about this, as it sounded like it might be a bit dull and "educational". After all, who wants to look at a load of old rocks, when it's sunny outside? But how wrong we were! It turns out that geology is full of exciting things like volcanoes and dinosaurs. One display combined the two things together - it was a demonstration of how volcanoes erupt and as the volcano threw out loads of smoke and stuff, the volcano itself gradually disappeared. When it had finally all gone, there was a small dinosaur. Mole said it was a parasaurolophus - but what do moles know? Anyway, it didn't look like much else was going to happen, so we went off to look at some more exhibits. Mole saw a sign saying "plate tectonics", and he thought that sounded like food might be involved, so we headed in that direction. Actually it turned out that there was nothing edible at all, so after a while, we set off for the museum cafe, to see if we could meet up with Rebecca Rabbit. On the way, we had to pass the volcano display again, and to our amazement, the case was empty! The museum staff seemed quite bothered about this, so we offered to help find the model dinosaur for them. "Model?" they said, "It's not a model!". Ooer, I think we've got a problem on our paws again!
