What part of India?
How's it going?
And finally, from here, Steffi says, what did you think of the Shackleton Museum?
I'm from a thigh.
Thanks for visiting.
So they've opened up a Shackleton museum that's not called a museum.
It's called the Shackleton Experience.
If you're interested in the world of Ernest Shackleton, you will love this museum.
It's in Athion County, Kildare.
They've done a magnificent job on it.
He's an intriguing character.
Of course, he was born in Kildare, just nearby Kilkee, I think it is.
And he lived there until he was about six and went to Dublin and then went to London.
And then he became an explorer.
He nearly ran for... He ran for office and didn't get elected in the UK.
And then he invented a cigarette, a type of cigarette.
He was a bit of a hustler, to be honest, but he was always interested in exploration and so on.
So they've done this amazing... They've found the cabin that he died in, actually, in his last expedition is there, the actual cabin.
And it was...
renovated by a bunch of people in Letterfrack in Connemara in the west of Ireland so it's all connecting very nicely there they have a beautiful statue of him outside and there's a little cinema that shows footage of Shackleton you can watch a TV series on it starring Kenneth Branagh if you want but that museum experience I loved it and comes with a huge recommendation
