Art expedition and food.....

 

Today we got up early and set off for the bus stop

Aha, there we are!

Even better, we're getting a train ride!

We had enough time to use the facilities before catching our train.... and we left them a CD!

Then we boarded our train and got a window seat!!

They got a CD too!

And we're off....!!

Oh, there's the Shard over there!!

Wonder where we're going then?

There's the Shard at London Bridge, but we didn't get off here.

We went over Borough Market.....

And got off here at Blackfriars!!

We used the facilities here too, and left another CD!

And spotted this statue too! We then met up with our friend Jef and then set off....

We went along the river and found a pretty murial

There's the Tate Modern over there!!

We're going to see an expedition!

Let's go in!!!

We got tickets for the Emily Kam Kngwarray expedition - she's an Aboriginal Australian artist!

OH WOW!!!!

MORE OH WOW!!!

These are batik dyed fabrics....

and lots of acrylic paintings too

More batik fabric....!

After a good proper look around the expedition, we had a look in the gift shop (we'll show you later!)

And then headed back out to find somewhere to eat - we left a CD on the railings here!

And then we stopped here for lunch, at Bills restaurant.

We had a mango smoothie

And a poached egg, smashed avocado on muffins and fries for a brunch!

Then we decided to get a bus somewhere for dessert!

BUS BINGO ALERT!  We got the 133!

We gave them a CD as well!

We got off at Newington Butts (heehee!!) and then came here

And got this!!!!!

IT WAS SPLENIFEROUS!!!  That's mango sorbet on top, and it was totally EPIC, I tell you!

We also had a coffee afterwards.

Then we had a bit of a walk round and found an Elmer!

And another Elmer!

We also found these sculptures too!!

And MORE elephants!!!!!

Then we decided to get another bus somewhere - so BUS BINGO ALERT!  We got the number 1!!

They got a CD too!

We got off the bus at the last stop and then wandered into Hampstead Heath and had a look at the lake.

We even had a swan visit!

Then it was time to go.... so we got the number 1 bus again and said goodbye to Jef!

we left another CD here too!!

And we're off!

We got off at Euston Station and then headed along the road.

Posh innit!!

And here we are at the train station!

We used the facilities and left them a CD as well

And then headed onto the platform - and our train was just about to get in!!!  How handy is that?!?!

We got a window seat too!

We went through Blackfriars station

And then over Borough Market

And back over the viaduct

And back home to Brighton!!

We didn't have to wait long for the bus either!

And got off here!  Then we just whizzed down the road to get home!

We got a set of postcards from the expedition!

They're brill!

What a fab day out!
