Today the plan was to go across Westminster Bridge, walk along the Thames and South Bank and back across the Tower Bridge. Checked out the Tate Modern along the way, wasnt very interesting to me.

London Bridge - I awlays thought that 'London Bridge' was THE London Bridge.. but today i discovered its not. London Bridge is just a bridge that leads to the suburb London Bridge which is quite grungy and dirty. Checked out the Borough St Markets, people flock here on the weekends but there wasnt much happening on a week day.

Tower Bridge - This is THE bridge. and it is amazing. On such a nice day like this day was, I could sit, people watch and admire the bridge for a couple of hours. Much prefer this than looking at art in a museum. The bridge was designed in 1884 and is raised around 1000 times per year. I was lucky enough to see it raise for a sailing ship that went through.

St Pauls Cathedral - Another amazing sight! It is massive and spectacular. Walked around the small garden surrounding it, lots of roses. Hopefully will get to do a tour of the Cathedral when i go back to London, which you can climb right to th top and get an amazing view of London.

My highlights so far have been Tower Bridge and St Pauls Cathedral.

I am amazed i have not seen anyone hit by a car or bus. There are lots of cyclists on the roads, none wear helmets but all the cars and buses actually take care passing them unlike Brisbane. People walk across roads when they feel like it, even if a bus is coming. To me it seems so chaotic but it just seems to work!
