We got up early again today, because we're going out!!!
We had to get a bus somewhere.....
And we're getting a train too!!
We didn't have to wait long for our train, and we got a window seat!!
And we're off!!
We went a slightly different route into London because London Bridge station was closed.
And we got off here!! Which was just as well, because they announced that our train was going straight back to Brighton because the track between here and St Pancras station was still closed for maintenance!!!
We quickly used the facilities and left a CD on the door
And then we went onto the Underground and came here!!
We o=got out on the north side of Piccadilly.....
We're going to the Royal Academy!!
I'm the song!! LAAAA lalalaalaa scoobydoobydooby laaaa!!
That's the blurb if you can read it....!
We went into see the summer show - there's a print there of a chicken showing off its' bum!!!
Oh that's pretty!!
Ooooo!
Oh! Fabric mushrooms!!
The cat's only sitting there because somebody taped a square "box" on the floor!
Crow!!
Oh that's clever!! It's painted on a piece of stone, did you spot that?
Ah, Klingon Death Laser.
Bubbles!!
Ooo, new pair of shoes for Andrea!
Another crow!! We saw quite a few crows here today!
That's Paris!! We've been there!
Sounds perfectly fair to me.
Oh! It's a map of London! But not just ANY map of London!
It's of monuments, memorable moments - AND MUDLARKING!!!!!
I love that whale!
Oh!! Getting political here.....
See if you can read the caption at the bottom of the picture!!
Ah. That must be the scratching post for the cat we saw earlier.
There's us!!!
We're not in this one though!!!
We'll make a separate post for all of the pictures we took!
We had a look round the giftshop which was hugely expensive, and spotted an indoor manhole cover!
Then we decided to head off for lunch!
BUS BINGO ALERT! We got a number 14!
They got a beer mat!
We went past Piccadilly Circus
And got off here!
At the British Museum!
We're going to have lunch here!
So we got a fizzy drink.
And an ENORMOUS fish and chips!
We still managed to eat the lot though!
Then we headed off to the next bus stop.
We got a bit lost though BUT
We found the right bus stop eventually!!!
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We got the number 8!!
They got a beer mat too!
We got off here which turned out to be a bit early but that's OK
We spotted another manhole cover!
And walked to St Bart's Hospital!
Here's the next bus stop....
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We're getting the 56!
They got a beer mat too!
And we're off!
oh wow! That's pretty!
Where does this go?
Aha! We got off here at Angel Station and had to walk up the road
We left a CD on the railing here
And then went round the corner to this bus stop
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We're getting the 153!!
They got a beer mat as well!
And we're off!
City of London buses!!
We got turfed off the bus here......
And went down the road and round the corner to here, Finsbury Square!
We spotted that on the corner!
That's the next bus stop!
BUS BINGO ALERT! It's the 214!
They got a beer mat as well!
Ooooo!
We went past a graveyard...
Oh I recognise this building!!
And I recognise that statue too!!
Funny graffiti!
Ooo do you see that reflection?! Do you know where we are?!
We're at St Pancras station!! It's time to go home!
What a fun day out!
Posh window settings!
LET'S GO IN!!!
(we'll show you later!)
We used the facilities and left a CD on the door
WINNIE THE POOH!!!!
We got to our platform but had to wait a while for our train. Everything had been delayed because of the earlier track maintenance stuff.
But our train came and we eventually got a window seat!
Here's Blackfriars Station again!
And we headed off.....
Nearly home....!
And we made it!!
Then we hopped on a bus and got off here..... just a short pootle home!!
We got a new ticket holder thingy!!
For our oyster card and senior rail card!! Yippee!
(the other one was falling apart, it was held together with sticky tape and knicker elastic!!)
Oh what's this??
