RA summer show highlights

Royal Academy and a bus ride!

We got up early today.....

.....and walked up to the bus stop.

And we're off!

We're going somewhere!!!

We didn't have to wait long for our train, which is good!

And we're off!

We're crossing the Thames!

Right ho, what bus are we getting?

BUS BINGO ALERT!!  We're getting the number 38!!

We gave them a CD!

We know where this bus goes!!

Turn left at the lights, Jeeves!

And we got off here!!!  We're going to see the Summer Expedition!!

We left a god card here first

OH!!  There's an icecream on top of Fortnums!!!!

Here we go....... there's big balls in the Courtyard!!

Oh how strange.....

We had enough time to use the facilities, and left a floppy disc behind.  After washing our paws carefully.....

....we went to see the show!

Oh look, there's Andrea!!!

Ooooooo!

OH!!!

SHRIEK!!!!!!!!

Somebody's playing hide and seek!

Ahhhhh!!

OH!!  Haha!

Ummmm

Uhhh....

Hmm

???!!

More ???!!

Ooo we had a seat!!!

Morris dancing!

That's similar to a massive installation we saw at the Tate Britain a while ago.

There's more pictures from the show which we're going to put into a separate post later.

Afterwards we used the facilities again and left a CD on the door

Then came downstairs to the cafe for an early lunch.  We had coronation chicken baguette (which was OK), a bakewell tart slice thing (which was yum) and a rose lemonade (also yum)

Then we came out to see Fortnums properly!

Fun huh?!

So then we walked back towards Green Park

And turned the corner and came to this bus stop.  We left another god card on it!

BUS BINGO ALERT!  We're getting the number 22!!

They got a CD!

Let's see where this goes.....

Oooo.... Regents Street!

Oh!  There's a dinosaur over there!!

We got off here....

And crossed the road to get the same bus the other way.

Here we are!!  We're going to Putney!!

So many flags!

Back down to Picadilly!  That's the Ritz over there!

And that's Green Park.  Except it's rather brown at the moment.

There's Hyde Park Corner!

And now we're going this way!

Oooo!

There's another little park...... also rather brown

Oooo!

We're at Sloan Square!

Lots of Union Jack flags!

Oh I remember that railing!  We've been this way before!!

We're going down the Kings Road!!

And all of a sudden, it started peeing it with rain!!!!

....over the train tracks.....

There's a book bench like the one in the British Library!!

Oh that's fancy!

This is a very long road, isn't it?!

Oh, this isn't far from Putney..... think this might be Fulham.

And we're crossing Putney Bridge, where the Oxford Cambridge boat race starts!!!

There's the main road going up to Putney Station

See?!

But we took a right turn to go along the Thames.

Oh!  The father of ventriloquism lived there!!

There's an Indian restaurant!

This is rather interesting.....

And here's the very last stop!!

Putney Common!!!  Which is also very brown!

The return bus stop is over there.

See>!

Bet that's really pretty when it's green though!

And here's the 22 bus going back to central London!

We sat downstairs this time and left a floppy disc on the rail!

And we're off!

Ooo that's pretty!

That's a piggy!!  Bit of a fuzzy photo though....

And here's the Thames again!

And we're crossing over......

.....and stopped at a bus stop half way across, and then carried on!

Oh this is fun!

Oh that's fancy!

There's Diba restaurant on Kings Road!!  We've eaten there!!

There's a funny sculpture there!

oh!

That's a fancy building!

Ooooo!

Oh that's pretty!

And then we got off here at Hyde Park Corner!

And waited for the last bus of the day!

BUS BINGO ALERT!! We got the 52!!

And got off at the last stop!

And we didn't have to wait long for the train home!

There's Battersea Power Station over there!!

And here we are crossing the Thames!

Oh!!!  There's a plane coming into land at Gatwick!!

See?!?!

Getting rather grey and manky now....!!

Nearly home....

Ta-da!!

Then we just wait for the bus.....

And we're back where we started!!!

They didn't have many postcards of the show this year but we got a couple..

What a fun day out!!
