More London exploring

St Paul's Cathedral

Suffering through rainy downpours we visited Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. We were lucky enough to be going through when there was a dress rehearsal on for a play opening this weekend.
This meant we were able to experience a little of what it would be like to go to a performance. Amazing acoustics in the open air theatre.

We then walked across the Thames over the Millennium walking bridge and visited St Paul's.

The cathedral was very sparkly and clean having just completed 15 years of renovations and cleaning, the inside mosaics and stained glass were fantastic to see. Luckily a spot of sun shone thru to help show the work.

Pushing on through the rain we finished the day with a walk around the British Museum, checking out all the Greek & Egyptian treasures.

By the way dinner last night at Jamie Oliver's restaurant was fantastic!

Cheers Gen
