Day 4 and Day 5 in London

Samantha tells me that I’ve got my days wrong. We’ve been so busy I’ve lost track of time. On Day 4 we visited the South Bank, exploring the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. The Tate Modern is housed in an old power station, and the interior reconditioning is stunning. Artists: Monet, Picasso, Bacon, Pollock, Rothko, Dali, Warhol, etc. Too much to see, actually, in a couple of hours. A few days are required! The Globe was packed full of tourists, so we didn’t linger. Impressive though.

We explored the Science Museum and Natural History Museum on Day 5. In the afternoon we walked through some beautiful parks: Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, and saw the Royal Albert Hall. The Science Museum resembles the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. Unique attractions include a V2 rocket, Spitfire and Hurricane fighter planes, and lots of hands-on science displays for little boys. Cool! Dinosaur skeletons and stuffed dodos in the Natural History Museum. A lot of people here, but it was a Saturday.
