Michelangelo and manhole covers.....

We got up mega early for a Sunday....

And went up to the bus stop!  (We said hello to that doggie, he was proper friendly!)

We left a god card on the info board

Our bus came along and we gave it a floppy disc!

Ooo, train station!  Where are we going?

Then we found out the train we planned on getting had been cancelled so we had to wait around for a hit.  So we used the facilities and left them a CD.

We spotted a couple of manhole covers too....


Finally we got the train we needed to get and left them a CD as well!

Where are we going today then?


There's the Shard!

We didn't get off here though....

We carried on going.....

....over Borough Market.....

....through Blackfriars Station.....

And we got off here!!!

So where now Jeeves?

Over the road to the bus stop!

BUS BINGO ALERT!!!  It's the number 390!!

They got a floppy disc!!

And we got off here at Tottenham Court Road!

We had to double back a little bit and go down here....

And we came to the British Museum!!!

We're going to see the Michelangelo expedition!!

We had a bit of time to spare so we used the facilities and left them a CD

And then we went upstairs to see the expedition!



That's the only copy of that book in existance!!!

All the others were destroyed by the Inquisition!







That was quite interesting!!!  We stopped in the gift shop after (we'll show you later) and then went off for lunch.

And saw a funny poster on the way!

We came here for lunch today

And started with a fizzy drink

And then had an enormous fish and chips, and then scarfed the lot!  It was yummy!

We didn't know this place had a glass roof.....

Then we sauntered off down the road again to go check something out.

And saw this on the way!

We left another CD here

And then went to the bus stop in Tottenham Court Road!

BUS BINGO ALERT!!  We got the number 73!

They got a floppy disc

And we're off....

We only went a few stops and got off here.

And then walked up to the Euston Road, and went to this bus stop here.

BUS BINGO ALERT!!!  We got the number 18!!!

They got a floppy disc too!

We went past here....

And got off here!

Over the road from Madame Tussauds!

We backtracked a bit to Nottingham Place.  What's down here then?

Railing that we tied a CD to.....

And LOADS of manhole covers!!!










When we got to the end of the road, we crossed over and tied another CD to another railing.

And then walked back up the other side of the street and found MORE manhole covers!!











Back on Euston Road, we found a building with snazzy doors on it!

Pretty, huh?!

Then we walked back to Baker Street Station and met Sherlock Holmes!

TA-DA!!

See the similarity in profile??  SEE??!!



Interesting fella, he is!

Then it was back onto the main road again.

And off to the bus stop.

BUS BINGO ALERT!!!  It's another 18!

They got a floppy disc as well!

Ooo look over there!!

It's the BT tower!!

And we got off at the last stop, Euston Station!

We left a CD on the railings there.

And decided to walk the rest of the way..... we left another CD here!

That one has a dangly bit on!

Ooo that's pretty!

And another manhole cover!

There's the British Library!

And here we are back at St Pancras!

Time to go home!!

We stopped in at Fortnums (we'll show you later!)

And then used the facilities, and left another CD on the door!
(Ed's note: this one has been claimed!)

And here we are at the station platform - and our train is due in ten minutes!!

We got a window seat as well!

And left a floppy disc on the hand grip!

We came back over Blackfriars Bridge

There's the Shard again!

Back over Borough Market.....

And then on the way back home!

TA-DA!!!!  We're back!

And there's a bus waiting for us too!  Excellent!

And we got off here and had a short walk back home!

We got postcards from the British Museum

And a witchy book

And these books as well!

And we got a Beanie sized fruit cayke from Fortnum & Masons!!

That's our dinner then.....
What a fab day out!!!
