A visit to London







Last weekend we went to London for the day, it was a lovely sunny day so we walked from Victoria train station to Hyde park where we sat on the grass, ate our picnic lunch and watched the people go by. It was such a lovely day that we hired a peddalow boat and peddled on the Serpentine for 30mins. Then we walked to the nearby Science museum, I had booked tickets for the Imax theatre to see Hubble 3D, a film about the latest shuttle mission to replace some of the telescope parts. It was fantastic, the closest I'll ever come to doing a space walk! The 3D effect on such a massive screen is quite incredible. Alex kept reaching out trying to grab stars as we were flying through space.The only drawback are the huge glasses you have to wear, as you can see in the picture! After the film we walked back through Hyde park to Victoria station, we passed through a small square called Springbok Square where we found these beautiful sculptures of animals that Alex is posing with. We're very lucky to be only a 90min train journey from London, to be able to see the sights, the hustle and bustle, and then be able to return to the peace and quiet of our little town.
