These are shots (front and rear!) of Bill and I climbing up the 500+ steps to the very tippy top of St Paul's Cathedral. The only reason I allowed that ass shot is because it really shows how tiny and precarious the steps were. And you can get a look at my new red boots! (Eyes on the boots, people, not the booty!) I'll also add that many of the highest steps were a wrought iron spiral staircase that you could see down...it made me somewhat woozy! I had a moment of internal panic but managed to power through. It was worth it. Despite the clouds we saw some spectacular views.
Bill with the London eye in back ground.
St Paul's from above - - this might be the view a fire watcher would have during the blitz.
Statue commemorating the fire watchers.
Next stop - Tate Modern. But not for the art...we went straight to the cafe for a tea (6 flights up - ugh!!!) Again, it was worth it to get a view of the cathedral with our cuppa.
It gets dark early here...by 4:30 all the lights are on. The South Bank is decked out in blue for Christmas. I tried to get a shot of St. Paul's through the trees.
London is for lovers....Bill took this picture of a couple while he was smoking his cigar
Home sweet home - dinner at the Christopher around the corner from our cottage. Bill's got his Best Pubs of London book out to determine tomorrow's agenda.
You can't see them in this photo but there are two dogs under the table. We love that everyone brings their dogs into the pubs and restaurants here.
