On Sunday I spent my time on the beautiful Queen's Walk. The Queen's Walk starts at Big Ben and ends at London Bridge, following the south bank of the river Thames (te-ehms). Along the way there are street performers that are very entertaining to watch but, make sure you do not take pictures unless you want to pay them for their performance. Some of the performers were people dressed up and fully painted who stand still like statues. Others were dancing and there were also a few mimes. One of the strange attractions was a man with his head in a dog crate who used puppet hands to make bells chime and then would howl at them in an attept to make music. It was really different for me because that is definitely something I am not used to experiencing.
As I was strolling along, I saw people who were wrapping the trees up with red and white polka-dots as an art exhibit. It was quite an experience. This was a nice way to spend a day very relaxed and still able to see the gorgeous London.
Tomorrow will be another day for site seeing. Keep checking in to see what is new and send me a post.
The howling dog man was the best, definitely have to give the guy points for creativity!
ReplyDeleteHey Kristin,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to London - great to meet you.
Loving the blog and pics... despite having worked in the big smoke for over three years, I haven't actually done most of this stuff...for shame!
Anyway, looking forward to your next post...
