It is Saturday and the sun is shining so once we all had breakfast and Nigel, Kellie, Henrietta and Oscar got out to go for a walk and meet up with friends I finished the dishes and headed off to the Tower bridge and a few other places depending on where I end up.
I only needed my smaller jacket, beanie and gloves, luckily I did bring them as the weather didn't stay too perfect too long. The wind freshened and the clouds built up.
I walked across London bridge and then walked down to the Tower of London. The monument is being restored and won't be open until 2009 so I didn't get to climb the 318 steps to the top for some gorgeous views. So off to the Tower of London. The queues are quite large so I decide to give that a miss as I have already been through the tower. So I walked to the Tower Bridge and did a tour of that as it was one place I haven't been previously. It was very interesting and beautiful views. After that I walked through St Trinity square and the Mariners war memorial and then onto Fenchurch station and this funny looking building that everyone has nicknamed the gerkin. It is a number of office blocks and shops at the bottom that are all closed on Saturday afternoon. I then headed off to Liverpool station and then because it was getting dark I headed back home.
Hopefully the weather will hold for tomorrow when we go on London eye.
