5/28/11 Lost in London and the Gherkin!

ok so i suck at blogging and cant get the type to go in the right place so read the part at the bottom first and it will probably make more sense :)

At the entrance of the V&A. All hand blown glass piece and i love it, not to mention its my favorite colors


This is the ceiling of the womans bathroom at V&A pretty neat stuff


An art piece made of smashed instruments all hanging from the ceiling by wire






Saw this random old wall on my way walking somewhere




Will the real london bridge please stand up?! So learned that this is the real london bridge but there is another prettier one people recognize as the london bride








To the left is the fake london bridge, and to the right is the eye of london building






A really weird yet funny piece at the Tate Modern.







Also at the Tate Modern, me trying to get to the orange mesh stairs hanging from the ceiling





Dinner at nando's a cool yummy portugese place






My delicious spicy chicken burger and rice





St Paul's cathedral, it was closed so we took pics of the outside






The Gherkin building which is shaped and sorta looks like a cucumber, and thats why they gave it its name. We took forever wandering trying to find this building because down on the street we were by it was had to spot it with so many buildings in the way.




Today was such a long day my goodness! So started by going to the V&A museum which was very cool, lunch, saw some sites, went to Tate Modern Museum, had dinner, saw St Pauls, got lost, saw the Gherkin building, got found, then headed back to our areaish. After that we went to a place called Covent Garden and watch a crazy comdeian/street performer ride a way tall unicyle...they probably have an official name but you get the point, and he only wore lil pink boxer briefs haha then he juggled a fake knife, a ball, and a chain running at full speed. We took a visit to this awesome ice cream place, painted all black inside, the workers wore mock police outfits and sometimes they have breast milk ice cream in fall and spring...creepy i know! We then listened to street performers and finally made it home.


Thats all for now, i promise to improve my blogging skills!
