Well we thought since we have been here two weeks we had better do something touristy! We decided to experience the free things that London has to offer so headed on the tube to St Paul's Cathedral and the Tate Modern Gallery.
First stop was St Paul's and seeing as it was a Sunday no tours were on but we were allowed in part way to have a look around and hear the choir warming up. when i was in Europe last i saw a lot of churches and i have to say that St Paul's is the most impressive I've seen so far.
From St Paul's you can walk in an almost straight line over the Millennium bridge to the south bank of the Thames. The bridge is pedestrian only and offers some great views back towards the Cathedral. The bridge heads directly to The Tate Modern which was constructed inside the old power station.
On the bottom two levels of the Tate is an exhibition space that changes every few months. At the moment it houses a Global cites exhibit which explores some of the worlds largest cites and how rapidly they are growing and changing. We spent a few hours in the Tate but barely got a chance to cover much of its seven floors. We did make it to the top floor which offers spectacular views over the river towards London.
All in all we had a great London day out and we snapped quite a few photos.
*In other breaking news Renee has found full time temping job and has already worked a few days. I have had one interview and have another tomorrow so things are looking promising!
