More gadding about

When we got up this morning, we had tea and cereal in the guest room.....

And then a bit later on, we headed out.  Where are we going today, then?

We headed down to the bus stop.....

And got the 176 bus!!!

They got a tag....

And headed off.

Oh, now look at that!!!

We got off and walked down the road to Forest Hill Station!
We're getting a train somewhere!!

Oh this is fun!!

We got off and came down here....

To London Bridge Jubilee line!!

And we got off here!!

We came outside to where all the buses stop

Oh I remember these!!!  We've come to take lots of photos of these metallic tree things!!

A few of them were difficult to photograph because the sun was right at eye level....

WARNING.... major photo dump!!!  (scroll through as fast/slow as you want!!)


















We also found an old rusty train!! Shame about the graffiti though....

And then we got the underground back to Canada Water.

We had a bit of a wander round....

It's very pretty round here.  

Then we found a little cafe for a apple ginger smoothie and the last cinnamon bun they had!
Then we squeaked "happy birthday" to Andrea because it's her birthday today!
We found out later that at Kew Gardens, it reached 34.8C today making it the hottest Mayday bank holiday we've ever had in England!!

After another little wander round and mooch, we got a bit hungry so we came here for lunch.

We started with a fizzy drink

And then had a Caesar salad with grilled chicken.  It was yummy!!

We had to go for a wee later, and saw they had funny door signs!!


We left a CD on the door, too

Then we went to get a bus.

We got the 381 bus going to deepest darkest Peckham!

they got a tag

And we're off!!!


And this time we made it back to Peckham bus station!!!

We headed over to this bus stop

And got the 197 bus!

They got a CD.....

And we're off!  We went past a little market

Oh, that's a pretty fence!!

We came past the Horniman Museum and spotted the totem pole at the front!!

We'll have to come back to have a proper look at this place!

And then we got off here!

And had a short walk back home...... where we all collapsed in a slightly soggy heap!!

Later on, after we'd recovered, we got hungry and went out for dinner.

So we went off to the bus stop

And got a 202 bus again!

But we got off a stop or two early, so we had a little walk to do!

And we came here again!

We got free popadoms again, and ordered a beer.

And then we had king prawn korma, pillau rice and nan bread!  It was yum!

We had a strawberry icecream afterwards!!

Then we walked over the road to the bus stop....

And got on another 202 bus....

And came back!

We're completely pooped out!
