London 2015, Day 3, July 2

This was a busy busy day with two Tates and six miles according to Ti's Fitbit. At first we thought of going early to the London Eye, but after walking down to the Embankment and seeing the clouds we decided to go to the Tate Britain first. But the bus did not come and after waiting around a bit, we took the tube, and managed to change lines and get to Pimlico. We followed some school kids down a few blocks to find the Tate.

WOW and double WOW, don't ever miss this museum, it is stupendous! And my favorite artist Turner has a whole wing to himself, a feast for mine eyes. Check out some photos on Facebook. We had a nice breakfast and then lunch in their lovely cafe.

Then we did manage to find the bus, no. 87, right in front of the Tate Britain, which left us in front of our hotel ! After a short rest we headed out to the other Tate, first by no. 15 bus, then across the Millennium Bridge, which had a lovely view of the Tower bridge and the Shard skyscraper.

The Tate Modern was huge and fun, but we only had time for ONE floor, as it closed at 6 and we needed some dinner before the Globe, which was right next door! I had my first fish and chips, and Ti had a healthy salad!

On to the Globe Shakespeare and a fun production of Measure for Measure. We had good bench seats and were pretty comfy sitting on our hotel pillows (don't tell them!) although after nearly three hours my back hurt a bit. At least we weren't standing like so many young ones.

Back across a very windy Millennium Bridge to Charing Cross, and so to sleep!
