England Pt 4 (London October 17th/18th 2008)

We went up to London last weekened and stayed with my friends Adrian & Dawn.

When we got there we went for a cruise up the Thames, starting near the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben!



This is the Mayor of London's office block. It looks like a crash helmet. The mayor, Boris Johnson, needs to wear a crash helmet. He's crazier than a box of frogs.


This is Tate Modern, the largest modern art gallery in the whole world. It's in a rebuilt power station on the South Bank of the river.


The Tower of London. Off with his head!


Tower Bridge. Yes, it had to open to let me through.


This is part of the City of London's skyline. That rocket about to take off is called the "Gherkin". My carers call it the pickle.


Back near Westminster on the other side of the river is the London Eye. The tallest ferris wheel in the whole of Europe. Maybe I should rent my neck out as a tourist attraction?


In the evening we went to a comedy club. I discovered that two bottles of wine makes me feel quite peculiar!


I did a quick stand-up routine. "My dog has no nose".... "how does he smell?" .... bloomin' terrible!" I'm here all week. Tapes and CD's are at the door.
