We got up early this morning because we're going out for the day!!
We're getting the bus into town.....
....and getting a train somewhere!!
We didn't have to wait long to get our train, either!!
And we're off!!
We went past Millwall football stadium
And got off here!!
There's the Shard!
Before we headed off, we stopped to use the facilities
And left them a tag on the door!! Then washed our paws carefully
And off we went!
That's our bus stop over there. .....
And our bus was just approaching as we got to the bus stop!!!
BUS BINGO ALERT!!!
We tied a tag to the rail.
We saw some interesting stuff on the way
Including Tower Bridge!
And then we got off here!
At Rotherhithe Station! Do you know where we are?!?!
We walked down to the Thames because the tide was out.
And went onto the foreshore to put back all the oyster shells we took last time!
We found a lot more glass too.
Then we headed back to the bus stop as we're on an adventure!
We left a card on the information board.
And then got a C10 back the way we came. It was jam packed busy though, so we didn't get any photographs.
We got off here though and we had to have a bit of a walk.
We crossed the main road and went down here.
It's very residential....
Oooh, there's a good view!!
This is Bermondsey Beach! Looks more like sludge to me.
Hmm.
Oh!! We can see Tower Bridge from here!!!
Wow!
We spotted some access stairs down there, near the footbridge to the pontoon. But it doesn't look like anyone has walked down so we didn't go to look if it was accessible. It does look rather sludgy down there!!
I bet the view is much better without those cranes in the way!!
Then we decided to head back to the bus stop - we left a tag on the railings on the way.
Oh!! Interesting buildings!!
See?!?!
Aha, there it is - and our bus is just arriving!!
It's the 381 again - we were planning to get it all the way to Waterloo (where we're going next) but it was stopping at Southwark Bridge Road because of a massive ginormous parade/demonstration thing. (It was a Pro-Palestinian thing)
We spotted the Shard again!
And then went down here..
And we got booted off the bus here. We had enough time to try and walk some of the way....
....oh....
We walked through Borough Market and found some lobster statues!!
There's a bunch of them, too!
One down there as well....
And a banana lobster!!!
SHARK!!!!!!!!!
Ah, I recognise this bit!!
We went there not so long ago!!
We went past Blackfriars Station....
And past here....
And down Blackfriars Road.
When we got to Southwark Station, our feet were hurting so we decided to cheat and get the Underground for one stop!!!
And we're here!!
Then we just had to find the pub we're meeting people at. So we initially went outside the station..... there's a ton of Police here.
And we found a bull statue!!
There's Paddington over there!!!
And then we eventually found the pub INSIDE the station!!! We got a beer.
Hic.
We had lunch too - classic burger and chips.
It was good but not as good as some of the posher burgers we've had!!
We met an octopus too!!!
Much later on, we decided to hit the road and try and find our way back to our station.
Thing was, that because the big parade was still happening a lot of the roads were still closed so a lot of the buses still weren't running.
We saw some lovely murials though...!
We tried this bus stop and left a card in the info board..... but there weren't any buses coming here.
So we headed off - and found the Paddington murial!!
And then found another bus stop to try.
We got another C10 bus to Elephant and Castle (which was also really busy!!) and then walked round to this bus stop
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We got the number 63 bus!!!
And we're off
Didn't take long to arrive at Blackfriars Bridge
Turned out to be a lovely afternoon
And then eventually we arrived back here at the last stop!!!
What a day!!
And now it's time to head home!
We stopped by Fortnums first (we'll show you later!)
We didn't have to wait long for our train which was good!!
And then got a window seat on the train!!!
We went through Blackfriars Station
And then on towards London Bridge
And finally arrived back home!!
And after a short bus ride, we got off here and whizzed home!!
We got more coffee and macadamia bis kwits from Fortnums!!
what a day....!!
