London Part One

Hello from London! Isla here.

I have to break up London into parts because it was so busy.

Us rushing out to get a cab - AJ's driveway
We watched tennis at a cool park that had a huge TV screen, bouncy castle, giant tennis balls and yummy food. It was in Clapham. We went there after meeting our NZ friends who live in London.

Tabby, Frankie, Fergus, Eva, Mia, Ella, Rich, Daddy, Me and Vi
Giant ball!
Cool playground
Final of Wimbleton - Murray vs. Federer. Federer won!
 

We did a sightseeing tour on a big red double decker bus! It was cool being at the top looking down at all the famous shops and sights.

We took tubes to get around London and also a boat and black cabs. They were really fun becasue we got to sit backwards!

Weeeeee - also spot the sticker on my dress. Those are the make-your-self-ones we brought from Hamleys!
 

It was very crowded at Buckingham palace because they had the changing of the guard. We couldn't see but Mummy put me on her shoulders and I could see almost perfectly. I got to pat a police horse. He was brown and very kind and not afraid of noise and all the people.

 

We went to the best toy shop in the world and it's called Hamleys. We got a cool sticker making set. Hamleys was 5 stories high and full of toys. It's also very old and started in 1760. I meet Kate, William and Harry there too! Just kidding - only their lego twins!

 

In the area where we stayed with AJ, Roscoe and Frankie they has a cafe which you could paint your own ceramic. First you choose what type of ceramic you want to paint (I chose a can money box and Violet chose a cupcake pot). It took agers to paint but it was extremely fun.

 

We had to wait two days for it to get fired and glazed in a kiln. They looked astonishing!

Part two to follow...
