A Birthday Trip to London!

Last Friday, I was told I was going to London again!! So I started packing. I'm good at packing...

All done. ....!

I got taken to the Tourist Information Centre first to get something called Coach Ticket...

We had enough time before the Coach to do some Sight Seeing. We got given a Free Lunch!! We can have this on Coach! I wonder what Coach is...?

While we were Sight Seeing, we saw this carved Pole!

And we saw Dog Sticker!!

Then we went to Coach Station.
Oh!! That's Coach!

It's going to London! We're going to London too!

And we're off...!

We went past Church...

This is on the way to London, I hope...!

Oh! We've arrived at Victoria Coach Station! Wonder where we go now....

Way Out! That's us!

I think we go this way now...

We stopped to ask this funny guy for directions...!!

We found these shiny Pigs!! I think they must be related to Sullivan...

Oh! Buses! Let's get the bus!

We got on number 73 bus. Andrea said it was the right one. The bus got stuck in a place called Oxford Street.... and it took us one hour and ten minutes to get too....

St Pancras Youth Hostel?! I've stayed here before!!

We got Bottom Bunk. They're easier to get into, I like Bottom Bunks.

Check the view now.... that's King's Cross there...

After we'd dumped our bags, we went over the road to British Library and saw this Map! It's of New York City, apparently. I've never been there....

And illuminated Letters!! I love these!

Andrea took me inside and we found a new Beanie Seat!
It's a Big Book!

We found some books on Computer and one of them had a mouse in it!

Oh I remember this guy! I've seen him before!

We saw another sculpture over the road.

We went for a walk and saw these ladies too. They don't look very happy....

Bloomsbury Theatre? Wonder what they do there...

Belly dancing?? Belly dancing!! There's a bellydance concert there tonight!!

And we've got a Ticket!! To see the Bellydance Superstars!!
Tonight!
Because it's my Birthday!
Andrea then took me down the road for Dinner. We lost some Art on the way...

We went to Pizza Express for dinner and had Soda. It makes me burp but Andrea doesn't seem to mind.

Pepperoni Pizza! My favourite!

AND pudding! We had Americano coffee and Coffee Icecream with a chocolate straw and a coffee bean on top!

We then had a stroll around town before the concert...

We did a bit of Jubilee Walkway too.

Andrea says that's the top of the BBC radio tower in the distance. Coo..!

When we got back to the Theatre, Andrea got me a Programme and I had a good look through it. I got some good ideas for costumes too. We weren't allowed to take pictures of the concert though but Andrea says the DVD will be out in about six months time. She says she's going to get one too!

We wiggled back to the Youth Hostel very happy!

Oh what a fun night out!!

I found your tag, that was posted in this journal, the one with the jeweled paper! I like the cut out hole the best, it made me sad to rip it, but I didn't have scissors with me.

It was found on a lovely sunny day.Nice to see little bits of happiness and kindness around,

Peace and happiness to you
