Riding the buses....

We went out for another walk today!!!

Up to the bus stop!  Are we going out somewhere??

We're at the train station!!!  We're going somewhere!!!

Our train was waiting for us so we got on.  We left a CD too

Wonder where we're going.....



OOOooo there's the Shard over there!!

But we're not getting off here!




We got off here at St Pancras Station!!!

We had a bit of a boogie-boogie when we got into the station!!

OOOoooo they got a new Christmas tree up!!!

It's a spiral staircase bookcase thingy and it's got seats at the bottom that you can sit on!!!

Oh what fun!

And there's that posh clock!

We used the facilities and left them another CD.

Then we went out onto the Euston Road.  Where next Jeeves?

We went over the road..... that's a proper spiffy building, that one.

Aha, there's our bus stop!

BUS BINGO ALERT!! We got the number 30!!!

They got a CD!!!

We only went a few stops, and got off here at Baker Street station!!

We crossed the road and walked up Baker Street - HG Wells lived there!

Ooo is that our bus stop?

Nope, this one is!!

BUS BINGO ALERT!!!  We got the 74!!!

They got a floppy disc!!

And we're off!!  Where are we going?

Oooo, the Christmas lights have gone up!  Can you see?!

That looks like a little church down there.....

Ooo that's the revolving globe outside the Dorchester on Park Lane!

And that's Harvey Nicks!!

This is beginning to look rather posh!

And then we got off here at South Kensington because it's lunch time and we're starving hungry!!

We came here for lunch!!

First we got a fizzy drink.....

And then we got a Pizza Nettuno!!!  It's got tuna fish on it!

After lunch we went back to the bus stop....

And got another number 74 to finish the route!!

This one got a CD!

Oh now, this is proper posh!!

There's a piggy in the door!!!  Can you see??!?!

And they've got Ukranian flags outside!

THAT'S BROMPTON CEMETERY!!!!

You can see an advert painted on that wall!!!

This is another cemetery!!  

It's Fulham cemetery!

We spotted quite a few Celtic cross headstones in there.  We'll have to come back for a visit.

But for now, we stayed on the bus to see where we'd end up.

Oh they've got fancy chimneys.....

There's a park there.

And we're going over the Thames!!!

And we got booted off here at the very last stop!!!

We're at Putney Exchange (which is the name of that big white building behind us) on Putney High Street (which is the name of the road we're on)

There's a horse standing over the door!  Can you see?!?!

We crossed the road to get the bus back and spotted this fancy building!!!  We've seen it before when we did the number 14 bus route.

That's the Putney exchange - it's a big shopping mall with fancy windows over the entrance!!

OH!!  BEAR!!!

There's another fancy window....

Oh here we are - the bus stop we need.

And that's our bus back to Baker Street!

They got a CD too!

And we're back over the Thames!!

Except there's another bus stop on the bridge this time, so this is the other half of the ride over the Thames!!

And we're off...

Oh!!!  Fun decorations in that burger joint!!!

Fancy ironwork there.....

OOOoooo is that another art deco place??  We'll have to check on google maps later.....

We spotted some muriels there!!

And plants growing on buildings!!

That's the National History Museum there!!!  We're back at South Kensington!!!

Coo... impressive building, huh?!

Very posh!

Good innit?!

And there's the V&A museum!

And then we went past Horrids.....

Oh!!  Do you see?!!  Robot Mice displaying sneakers!!!

There's Harry Potter stuff in there!!

We're back at Hyde Park Corner now!!!

There's Hyde Park!

It's all posh round here.

And there's Marylebone town hall....

And another art deco place - we've spotted this one before too!

And we got off at the last stop at Baker Street Station!!!

There's a couple of plarks on the wall nearby....

That's the other one.

At the same bus stop we had to get another bus.

BUS BINGO ALERT!!!  It's the 205!

They got a CD

We went past Regents Park...

And past some bug hotels!!

And we got off at the British Library!

we went through the Library courtyard and left another CD on the railing.

Posh one this one!

We left a floppy disc a bit further along.

And we left another floppy disc here too!

A bit further along we found a red telephone box with an old rotary phone in it!!!

Oh what fun!!!

It's outside this place!!

And here we are back at the station!!  It's time to go home now!!

But first we stopped at Fortnums and looked at their window displays!

Ooh these are fun!

See?  It's a train going round London!

Fun huh?!

After we did a spot of shopping (we'll show you later) we used the facilities and left another floppy disc

And then went off to find our platform

More decorations!

Ooo we don't have to wait long for our train!  Excellent!

We left a floppy disc here too!

And got a window seat!!

And came through Blackfriars Station again!

Then when we were coming into London Bridge Station, we saw a big rainbow!!!



...that rainbow is still there!!!

Then we all fell asleep until we got to Brighton!!!

We didn't have to wait long for a bus.....

And got off here to walk home!

We got an Advent Calendar from Fortnums!!!

But we can't start it until next month though...... but we want to start it NOW!!!
