After a luxurious sleep in, we headed on the train to Waterloo and a short walk to the Tate Modern Gallery on the London South Bank.
We saw an exhibition called "Exposed" showing photographic art. Across the river we caught a glimpse of St Paul's Cathedral - once the tallest building in all of London.
Lunch in a pub called the Founders arms overlooking the river and listening to the roars from inside as the Germans had a convincing win over Argentina in the FIFA World Cup. (We're watching Spain v Paraguay as I type, and stayed up last night to watch the devastating defeat of Ghana by Uraguay...sigh!).
Lunch was a delicious cheeseburger with chips and a couple of ciders for me - Bulmers Original Apple Cider and a Swedish Strawberry and lime cider - delicious.
Had a ride home in a London taxicab and a lovely arvo nap!!
Off to France tomorrow... yay! eek! Bonjour?!!
Hey B - sounds like you are having a great time!! - so great to read about your adventures... hope France is ready for you!! PG
ReplyDeleteGood golly miss molly, I've only just logged onto your blog and seems like you're half way through already! Action packed time is being had - excellent! The sights and sounds of Edinburgh sounded familiar (I lived behind the Burger King on Princes Street back in a previous back-packing life). Can't wait to hear about your French experience, esp the cottage and the classes .. and I promise I will blog-watch more regularly!

Hey Brig, finally found the email with your blog address. The Founders Arms is right near the job I worked on in London - the Blackfriars Bridge upgrade. You probably saw all the activity on the bridge from the pub. Glad you are having fun.
