Exploring London: Day 3
The common activity for today: more walking, and we managed to do the following:
- started walking from Waterloo station down the south bank of the River Thames, which I got to see for the first time since I came here.
- visited the Tate mueseum, loved some of the works of art there, didn't understand some and absolutely hated others. I especially loved the kinetics, the Picasso and the big piece of hanging stone that read "The world has been empty since the Romans". Don't you just love Roman pride? :)
- visited the Clink Prison meuseum for a brief encounter with the horrors 12th-18th century British prison experience.
- walked some more to the magnificent Tower Bridge and went all the way up of course.
- then we had a bit of a tour on a couple of double deck buses till we reached Liverpool Street station.
Finally, of course, we were tired by the time we were home so we decided to spend the rest of the day watching movies. First we watched "Con Air", a typical action American movie in which I loved the name "Sirus the Virus". Then we watched "Pirattes of the Caribbean" and it was great. The screenplay, the visual effects and of course the great Johnny Depp were amazing.
Ok.. hopefully the weather tomorrow will be more springish than the winterish weather we had today.
