8 August - London Theatre and London Eye

8 August - We Go To The Theatre in London and London Eye

Today we caught the train in to Victoria station with Susy and then went and watched the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.






We also checked out Susy's favourite runners shop and dad bought another pair of running shoes.

Then we had lunch at a cafe in Knightsbridge.




Then we said bye to Susy and we went to the London West End to see Wicked at the theatre. We had a great time. We got dressed up for the show today wearing some of our new clothes. It was a fabulous show with lots of singing and great performers. We had perfect seats up high looking down on the stage.

The show was about the story of the witches in Wizard of Oz. We can understand Wizard of Oz more now after seeing the show.









Then we went in to Westminster Cathedral for a look.



Then walked to the Thames via Westminster Abbey and Houses of Parliament again and had some dinner at a cafe near Westminster Bridge.

Then we went on the London Eye. It is like a gigantic ferris wheel which has large glass capsules that carry about 15 people. It goes around really slow. It takes 1/2 an hour to go around and then you get off.

We had great views of the river and the city particularly the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. We also saw the many bridges that cross the Thames including the Jubilee Bridge and the Tower Bridge, St Pauls Cathedral, Nelsons Column, the "gherkin" building (Swiss RE Tower), the "needle" building (The Shard), the Guards quarters where the Olympic Beach Volleyball was being played, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Waterloo Station, Tower of London, St James Park, Hyde Park and more.
















Then we played for a while in a large adventure park and walked across the Thames and took some more pics and went to Victoria Station and came home. We got home about 10.30pm and straight to bed.



We had a great day.
