London, England - 13th April 2009

By: iddewes

Well here I am! Hope Mom had a good Easter! :)
I've had quite a quiet time here - well it wasn't Easter for my hostess anyway, she had Passover, but anyway had a few days off work, but the weather was SOOOO bad this weekend!
It got a bit better today so we went to visit her grandmother, who lives in Barnes, in a really nice part of south west London. My hostess would love to live there but it's very expensive. Anyway...first of all we took the bus to Waterloo station.
(here's me on the bus!)

Here I am at the station! It's really big and busy!

And here's a house where a famous person lived - the composer Gustav Holst. When someone famous (who's now dead) lived in a house in London, they often put up these blue plaques on the houses. :)

We had a really nice day there :)
On the way home...well Waterloo is right in the centre of London, and there's a nice place to walk along called Southbank, so we went there.
Here's the famous London Eye (I'm afraid we didn't go on it though!)

There's a Salvador Dali museum there so some Dali sculptures too :)
