Hunting Penguins......

Today, Andrea said we were going out for the day!

And we went up to Hove train station!  Where are we going?

Dunno, but we got a window seat!

It's a big foggy out there today....

OOooo we're going over the Thames!!

We used the facilities before heading into town and gave them a floppy disc.  And then washed our paws carefully.

We're starting off on the Underground!!

And we got off here!!

Ooo yeah, defo foggy in town today.

We headed off over here.

It's a Penguin!  We're doing a sculpture train!!

Chief Elf Buddy the penguin!

Oh what fun!!

He's number 2 on the trail

Wonder where the others are?

We headed off to find them....

We gotta go up there now!

There's number one!!

It's called Tiffany!


That's a youth hostel, we've stayed in there.  Used to be the St Pauls Boys Choir school or dorms or something.

Oh wow!

Then we came back down to Ludgate Circus

And found this one!

Number 12!

He's got fish skeletons knitted into the jumper design!!


Then we were off again....

....to St Brides Passage!

Then we went down Fleet Street and found the Daily Express building!!

And we found another one!!

This one's in Gough Square and took a bit of hunting round back streets!




We left a CD on the chair too!

And  said hello to a cat!!

We also left a floppy disc over here too!

And another CD on a railing on Fetter Lane!

And then found this one nearby!

It's got Wols on it!!

Oh what fun!!


And a fox on the back!


When we saw this tree, we spotted the next penguin!  Can you see?!?!

This one!!

This is in New Street Square.....




Then we made our way back to Fleet Street because we were getting starving hungry.....

And came here for an early lunch!

It's the Old Bank of England next to the Royal Courts of Justice!

We got a fizzy drink

And fish and chips!!!  We scoffed the lot!!  It was YUM!

They had a nice tree too!!

Then we headed off to find the rest of the penguins.

Here's one!!

We left another floppy disc on a railing

And then wandered around looking for the next one.  We've already found that one though.
