London Day 2

Once again we had a free day. All ten students purchased a hop on/hop off bus ticket along with a London Eye ticket. They were able to see most of the sights they wanted to see. Here are a few of the photos taken during their day around London.

 Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace.

 The London Eye. They were able to have their own pod because one of them is slightly claustrophobic. Typically, they put over 30 people in one pod. The ride takes 30 minutes and they all felt is was wonderful.

 They got back on the hop on and hop off bus. They felt it was one of the most fun times of the day.

 In addition, they went to the London Dungeon. It is a new amusement ride/attraction that is not recommended for anyone under 16.

I went to the Tate Modern Art Museum, had lunch at a Greek restaurant in the shadow of the Globe Theater and then watched "As You Like It". It was wonderful to see Shakespeare at the Globe theater. I only bought a ticket a hour before the show and got a great seat with a backrest (only the back row have back rests). It rained and hailed during the performance but with my seat, I never got wet. You can choose to get the standing 'seats' for 5 pounds each but you are out in the weather.
