After getting our tickets for the show, we headed back to the our neck of the woods (London Bridge area) and took a walk along the Themes River. We stopped in at Shakespear's Globe Theater. Though this is not the original Globe Theater, it is a full size repleca of the original. Its a working theater and they actually put on some of Shakespeare's work. It was a pretty interesting site and we were glad we took the time to see it.
After speanding sometime in the old era, we headed to the Tate Museum of Modern Art. We were very excited to see this museum, and even more excited that it was free! We initially walked into the large central room of the museum to see a series of spiraling tubes that originate from the different floors and all end on the ground floor of the museum. We didnt realize that they were slides until we saw people zipping down them at high speeds. It was quite a site to s
ee.Aside from the picture of the slides, we were not permitted to take any other pictures, but thoroughly enjoyed the varied collection that included works from Picasso, Salvador Dali, and Andy Warhol. We spent a while at the museum before heading accross the millennium bridge to see St. Paul's Cathedral.
The millennium bridge was neat, it appears to be a suspen
sion bridge that was constructed only for pedestrian traffic. We crossed the bridge quickly which put us ride outside of St. Paul's Cathedral. It gets dark at about 4PM here, so some of the pictures didnt turn out very well.After taking some pictures of the exterior, we briefly went inside before heading back to the hotel for a break before dinner and the show tonight.
We have sporadic access from the hotel here, but hope to have another update soon.
Cheers!
Dave and Brian
