On top of the world...

Well, the Thames Festival started today which means I dragged myself out of bed early and walked over to the Tate Modern to take part in the Footsteps for Children walk.

I did the 5-mile walk about London. First stop was the Tate Modern. I saw works by Matisse, Picasso, Steve McQueen, Monet, Roy Lichtenstein, Man Ray and many more. It was sweet because it was totally free to go in. Big bonus.

Then I set off walking along the Thames. When I got to the London Eye I bought a ticket and got on. It was really cool, maybe a bit pricey but it is like the Eiffel Tower of London, you really can't not do it.

Then I set off to take some cool pictures of Westminter and Big Ben and even walked across the "Wobbly Bridge" as the Millenium Bridge is known. I saw Shakespeare's Globe (which I will tour tomorrow) and Victoria Gardens. I took a rest there in the lawn chairs they set out. When I got to the end I got a goody bag and a medal for participating. So cute!

I tried to go to the Tower of London but I was a bit late. I'll visit there tomorrow.

I leave London tomorrow evening for Ireland and then home the next day...yikes, I better go get packing!!!
