London Day 4

London Day 3
After lunch it was off to the Science Museum. Much calmer. The children had time to look properly and to sketch and find out things. Ellie is above, sketching some form of 20th century transport. Can't remember what. I've barely had time to talk to her all week.

London Day 2
Then the BIG WALK. Across the Millenium bridge, all the way down the Southbank to the Eye. There were road works so we had to take a long detour. After the flight on the Eye we walked across Westminster Bridge, up past Downing Street and into Trafalgar Square. Once there we all collapsed onto the bus.
After tea it was back out again. A tour of London by night, with a few quick stops along the way. We walked across Tower Bridge. More road works on the pavement meant we had to cross the road. Hair raising. And we also stopped by Buckingham Palace for a photo. The Queen was in so we waved. Some of the children even think they saw her look out of the window.
Ellie is fast asleep now and I think I'll have a job waking her up in the morning.

London Day 1
After a quick walk around our next stop was London Zoo. The weather was much kinder to us there and we had a lovely time. Ellie's group managed to see lions and tigers but missed the giraffes. My group did the opposite.
The hotel is boiling hot and the children are writing diaries at the moment. Bed time is not until 10 o'clock. I'm not sure I can wait that long!
