It has been a while since the last entry (excuse me while I remove the dust and cobwebs).
We finally got to do the touristy thing in London!
Considering how much time I have available for writing this, I will let the photos do most of the talking (picture = 1000 words, therefore = normal length blog).
Highlights of the trip was seeing the following:
- ”Joseph and the Technicolour Dream coat” at the Adelphi Theatre, in the West End (Kathleens Highlight)
Keith was worried our seats would have a poor view of the stage, and there would be no leg room, but it proved quite excellent.
The star of the Show, Lee Mead
Go, go, go Joseph…
- Trafalgar Square
Nelsons you-know-what…
- 221B Baker st (Keith’s Highlight, and If you don’t know its significance, I roll my eyes at you)
An Elderly Gentleman actually lives here, and keeps his apartment how it would have looked in the books. How amazing is that?!
Madame Tussauds handywork
One Hot looking Watson
- Harrods (the bank card got a bit warm there)
- Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
All the stage is a world
- The Tate Modern art Museum
- Tower of London
not very towering, but still nice
- Buckingham Palace
There was something going on inside, so no Busbies today
The Fountain out front
And odds and ends, stuff that you have to see while you are in London
Westminster Abbey
We got frowned at by one of the Priests for sneaking out of a prayer session (Yes, yes, we already know we’re going somewhere warm).
Did you know they have muffled the bell, due to complaints
An area of London. Doesn’t beat Wonglepong, but its up there…
We must have sat for half an hour waiting to see whether the Liner was going to come through. It didn’t.
Thats one big ferris wheel.
This sphinx has holes in it where shrapnel hit it during WW2 (thats definitely one life of nine gone).
Cleopatra’s needle, actually brought over from Egypt, since no-one wanted it as the time.
City Limit markers, where London city use to end (or start).
To commemorate our arrival, they named a street after Kathleen.
I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with T…
Thats right, “TOURIST”. 
This one is for you, Jan.
Gorgeous Green Park near the palace.
The weather was a bit on the grey side, but didn’t drench us too much. Only sore points were our feet due to all the walking.
Our flight home was delayed too, to the point where the plane had to line up (literally) with the International flights to take off on one of the international runways.
For all you that have given up on seeing the end of our previous trip (eg. France), I will try to finish it off.
Till next time (when-ever that will be), Love you all,
Kathleen and Keith
