What?? We're going out - AGAIN?!!!
Oh wow!!!
We're getting another train somewhere?! Oh what fun!
We're right up at the front too! And it's not packed like sardines like the trains we got over the weekend!
Love this bit.....!
That's Gatwick Airport over there.
And there's Millwall football stadium
And the Shard!
We went over Borough Market....
And we got off here!
We used the facilities and left them a CD. Then we washed our paws carefully.
So where next Jeeves?
We're going this way? OK....
Ooo the tides out!
Oooo pretty!
We came down a set of stairs and came past here
Love this view.
The first time I ever went mudlarking was from here, with Sandy Bear.
We left a beer mat here.
Gosh it's pretty
There's the Tate Modern! We're going to see an expedition?
BRILLIANT!
They've got a weird statue on the lawns
We left some more beer mats...
Haven't done this forever.
We're going to see a Nigerian Modernist expedition
LET'S GO!!
We had to go up to the first floor to meet Andrea's friend Fabia who's coming with us.
We met in the Corner Cafe - she was already there so we got a coffee and sat down for a chat. Then we got hold of a wheelchair for Fabia because her hip is falling apart, and me and Andrea pushed her about for a bit.
Then we came up to the third floor to see the show
It was brilliant! They had lots of wood carvings in the first room
Some were made out of ebony, and some were mahogany
There was also lots of oil paintings.
And acrylics too
There are brill!
A bit scary though, sometimes.
There was also pottery.
Some with lizards scratched in!
Scary toad.
This is a brilliant expedition! I'm so glad we came!
They had tapesteries too!
And ink drawings.
This one was huge - painted over 5 or 6 big panels.
This one's watercolour!
After a good look around, we wheeled Fabia back to the coffee shop as she had to head off somewhere, and then we used the facilities and left a CD
That was a brilliant expedition!
After a good look round a couple of gift shops (we'll show you later) we headed off for lunch.
And left some more beer mats on the way!
We went past the Globe theatre
And came here, Tas Pide!
First we got a fizzy drink
And then we got a spicy sausage Pide (a Turkish pizza) and some flatbread and hummus
It was yummy!
We got given a piece of baklava too!! Can we come here again?!?!
After Andrea paid, we left and they gave us a piece of Turkish Delight too!
Then we walked away from the Thames and found a funny looking building.
There's St Paul's Cathedral over there.
And there's the Shard again!
Aha! Bus stop!
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We got the 381!!
They got a CD!
We spotted the Shard again!
And a space ship alien thing!
And we got off here at Rotherhithe!
went past a Chinese restaurant.
I'm guessing that's to do with the Chinese New Year.
Oh goody good!! The tide's still out! We went onto the foreshore and put back a load of oyster shells that we borrowed last time we were here. We had a look round for some others but didn't find much.
And then we headed off.....
....back to the bus stop!
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We got the C10 bus!
They got a CD too!
We got off at the last stop, at Canada Water, and waited at this bus stop for our next bus. We had to wait for AGES.....!
But FINALLY it came!!! It's the number 47!!
They got a CD too!
We're going through Bermondsey now....
Back the way we came....
....and got off at London Bridge Station. We're not going home just yet, are we??!
Oh no!!! We walked round the corner to London Bridge and waited at this bus stop for another bus!!!
BUS BINGO ALERT!!! We got the number 43!
They got a CD too!!
And then we travelled over London Bridge!
What a day....!
Oh there's a graveyard!
Oh, that's an interesting view!!
And we got off here at Angel Station. We have to go up the road and round the corner now.....
To get to the next bus stop, and the last bus of the day!
BUS BINGO ALERT!!! We got the number 73!
They got a beer mat because we'd run out of CDs to tie on!
I know where we're going now....!
We got off here!!!
It's time to go home, now.
We used the facilities and left them a beer mat.
And then headed down to our platform. Didn't have to wait long either!
AND we got a window seat!
There's Blackfriars Station again.
And we spotted the Shard in between buildings!
And then we wound our way back towards London Bridge Station.
And snoozed for a bit on the train!
And here we are back home!!
Oh! That's our bus home!!
HURRAH!!! Just a short walk home from here!
We got some badges from the Tate. I'm going to keep one of these and the others can be bingo prizes.
And these are some of the postcards we got.
And so are these!
What a fun day out!
