Wandering around London:

Morning walk along Southbank, Tour of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Looking at Art (and looking at people taking pictures of themselves 'looking' at art) at Tate Modern, People watching in Green Square and stumbling across the cutest church-converted-garden museum with great views from its tower.

Fun Fact of the Day: It's a bad idea to launch a cannon for fun in a building made of wood and straw.Read more

Day 3
2. Tag (London)
July 2 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Zum Frühstück gab es heute ein Pain au chocolat mit Pistazien und ein Chai frisch vom Markt vor dem Kings Cross Bahnhof.
Nach einem kurzen Spaziergang durch den St. James Park ging es dann zur Westminster Abbey.
Es war wirklich beeindruckend! Nicht nur all die Monumente zu sehen, aber auch die Grabstätten all dieser Monarchen und Persönlichkeiten. Dazu noch die prunkvolle gothische Architektur…
Doch nach all dieser Pracht wollte ich noch die etwas verrücktere Seite Londons erneut erleben. Also ab nach Camden Town und Camden Market.
Dort gab es zuerst was zu Mittag 😋. Die Stärkung brauchte ich auch. Der Markt ist riesig, bunt und ein Ansturm auf alle Sinne. Herrlich! Da durfte ein neues Paar Schuhe nicht fehlen. Eine leckere Tasse Tee rundete das Ganze ab.
Die Abendunterhaltung findet nun noch im Shakespeare’s Globe statt mit dem Stück “The Taming of the Shrew”.

Ein weiterer ereignisreicher Tag in London 😍Read more

Day 13
Sightseeing in the rain
November 26, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F
By the time we left the Golden Hinde, it was truly raining. This is the first time we got to really test out our new raincoats. Well, I did at least, because I decided to take another walk through the city. Russell headed over to the Tate Museum of Modern Art.

I ended up going through the City of London, which is the site of the original Roman settlement, but is now the financial center. So it was very modern and pretty much deserted on a Sunday afternoon.

I eventually made my way to Covent Garden where they had a pretty extensive craft market set up. Found a few fun things to buy. The Christmas tree at Covent Garden was a site to behold. Eventually, Russell met up with me and we both headed back to the hotel to rest before dinner.Read more
Could that be St Paul's Cathedral??? The interior climb to the tippy top is more interesting ..plus a wonderful view of London. [V]

Day 16
Tate Modern, Tower bridge e Soho
December 28, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌬 11 °C
O primeiro objetivo do dia estava traçado há muito tempo, aliás foi um dos dois motivos desta viagem até Londres e o porquê de ficarmos uns dias… visitar o Tate Modern e ver, ali à nossa frente, tantas das obras que só conhecemos dos livros de Arte! E, claro, a incontornável exposição de Philip Guston que se revelou tão além das expectativas, muita bom 🥰

Depois demos um “pulinho” de comboio ao sul da cidade para comprar um acessório para a nossa Cali (aproveitámos para ver os subúrbios com menos glamour que a city) e voltámos para dar o nosso passeiozinho a pé (hoje foram 16km, mais 6 que ontem), atravessámos a Tower Bridge vendo o contraste da quase milenar Torre de Londres com os arranha-céus envidraçados, seguimos, sempre perto do rio, até Trafalgar Square, depois Leicester, Soho e Chinatown, onde jantámos um ótimo pato assado. Ainda bem que reservámos porque, talvez por ser véspera de fim de ano havia milhares de pessoas nas ruas, todos os cafés, bares e restaurantes cheios e com gente à porta para entrar - uma loucura!

Voltámos para o nosso cantinho com tudo já mais calmo. Amanhã há mais 😉😉Read more

Day 2
Tate modern afternoon exhibition
March 9 in England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
After lunch we went to the part of Tate we hadn't been before. It was fantastic to see the two polarities od art - how strong can be message delivered by it on the one side (for example in video about impact od art to the meaning about real world) and how blank and meaningless it can be on the other side (like million times displayed gender topics)Read more

Day 45
Shakespeare Globe and Tate Modern
March 16 in England ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
From Southwark Cathedral we walked towards Tate Modern and were side-tracked by the Shakespeare Globe. We quickly enquired about which plays were on and happened to be coinciding with Romeo and Juliet. Not only that, but we were lucky enough to get five pound standing tickets!

The play was a modern-day representation of suburban skater and cyclist clans with the theatre decorated with graffiti. The actors were a multicultural mix dressed up in tracksuits and with smartphones in hand.

After the play we needed a sit down and went to the member'a area for a tea overlooking St. Paul's Cathedral on the other side of the Thames.
We managed a quick visit to Yoko Ono's temporary exhibition.Read more
