Royal Academy, processions and buses.

We got up early this morning, because we're going on an expedition!!!

We got to the bus stop in time to get our bus.....

To the train station!!  Huzzah!

Then we got a window seat on our train!!

And we're off!!!

We went in and took gazillions of photos.  These are the highlights.

WE'RE AN EXHIBIT PIECE!!!

That's made on the inside of a playing card box!!

And those are airmail envelopes doodled on the inside!!

Torture device???

After we had a good look round, we visited the gift shop (we'll show you later) and then used the facilities.  We gave them a CD and then washed our paws carefully.

Then we went to the cafe for a snak.  We had a fizzy drink, an eggy mayo cress in a brioche bap and a choccie brownie.  We scarfed the lot.

And then we went off for another expedition!

we left a god card on the bus information board

And then went and had a look down Burlington Arcade.

Then we went over the road to get a bus somewhere.

We got off at Constitution Hill and there was a big parade coming down this end of Piccadilly!!!

We saw lots of ladies wearing saris dashing over to watch....

It's the Ratha Yatra procession which is a Hindu celebration!

to our next bus stop!

This bus was mega busy..... we managed to leave a floppy disc on the rail though.

We got off here at Notting Hill Gate 

And walked past this mosaic to the next bus stop
