  • V&A Theatre tour

    5

    carolr07 0 contribution Canada Sep 14, 2011

    We were so lucky to have the curator of the Theatre collection at the V&A leading this tour. He was not only knowledgable about the collection but also gave us several leads on where to tour theatre houses in London. The 'House of Annie Lennox' installation opens tomorrow and he also took us through it as a specail treat! After the tous was over, we tried on costumes, which was a great photo op!

    I see London..."Mind the Gap"

    Ello ol chaps! I will say that I am too cheap to pay for Internet. This is why you have not yet heard from me! OI apologize in advance for my excessive use of exclamation marks. After spending three full days in London, I have probably exhausted the word 'WOW'! My second apology - there probably won't be all that many pictures in this blog! No …

    It was such an incredible day I am not sure where to start. Erin is leaving in a couple of days and she wanted to go see the Changing of the Guards. It wasn't really on my list but I figured since it was her last time in town it would be fun. We arrived Waterloo and realized pretty immediately something was off. The bridge that is in front of Big …

    Lundi. 13h30. Porte Maillot.

    Van blanche, Rent-a-Car. Anonyme. Notre chauffeur se nomme Mouahmed. Hmm.

    Sans dire que les circonstances douteuses de notre covoiturage de Paris à Londres nous inquiétaient, nous nagions tout de même dans un certain mystère qui rendait notre trajet moins banal qu'une escapade Québec-Montréal avec …

    London Day 4 - Highlight - London Eye Experience

    Putting our frustrations aside at yet another day of transport woes in London, that led to us missing three things we wanted to see, we still managed to have an excellent day in London.

    We had set off this morning to see the Horse Guards Parade at St James Palace, to be followed by the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and then …

    So It Begins

    We stepped off the plane at about 7:00 this morning and walked into a nearly deserted Heathrow. We collected our bags and set off on the tram into the city with no problems or delays. While we rode, I looked over the map of the Tube to figure out where we would need to change trains to get to our apartment. Honestly, I thought I was fully prepared …

    Day 3

    5 photos

    Shopped at Portabella Market which is kind of like a glorified covered bridge festival - lots of neat antiques and plenty of souvenier booths. Kensington Palace was under construction but we got to see the exterior - it is not so impressive but the park around it is beautiful. Dogs were running off leash all around! We had tea at The Orangery on …
