FLAT FEET

After a couple days of doing the whole tourist thing, my feets suspension are shot. Though in two to three days I have covered most of the main london attractions. London and tower bridge, the tower of london, old london, the south bank. Various squares, the palace and st james park, british parlement and big ben, and so on and so forth.
A bunch of pics have been pushed to flickr in the london album (edit: fixed the link)
Saw the musical Joseph last night. Was interesting, there were a slew of technical issues with the stage so they had to stop and start again re-doing full scenes and sections. Once it hit the intermission, which was extended an extra 30 minutes, we got word that we would be getting a full refund to ongoing technical issues and that we would get the full 2nd act but playd out in a concert style performance. This involved very minimal stage changes but was still done really well for them pulling it together though the elongate intermission. Then it was off to the pubs with our extra cash for a couple pints. After works brad and i wandered around the south bank, and then actually into the Thames since tide was down. Took a bunch of night time shots and killed and extra two hours. Then it was time to find food, which was challenging. Seems like everything closes really early in london.
Today we hit up the Borows market then the south bank again for lunch. Then I was off to the london eye and the Tate Museaum of Modern Art, while Brad went and finished his school work. The eye was fun, the pods are roasting though. Might be a while till those pics are up, still have the last two days to go though. Then it was off to the museum. Didnt get to finish all the exibits since I started fairly close to closing time so I shall have to go back. The main hall was amazing. The whole museum was build inisde an old coal power plant, which creates and awsome atmosphere and layout, and a really really large main hall. That was the only are where pics could be taken, and those will be up at some point as well.
Still lots to do, not going to be able to hit paris it seems due to time lines and such. But id prefer to spend more than 1-2 days there so that means a nice full trip will be planned for next year possilby. Soon though. Now that I have a taste of europe I need more.
