Tap Tap Tap!

Another busy day in a busy city, putting lots and lots of miles on our feet. We started this morning with a nice subway ride over to the Imperial War Museum which is on the other side of the Thames from where we are staying - an area we hadn't quite ventured over to before. It was nice to see another area of London. 

This was another very interesting museum, especially all of the exhibits relating to World War I. They have a floor devoted to the Secret Wars, spies and such as well which was interesting. These museums are all so intensive that you can really only do one museum in a day. We decided to walk back from the museum which took about two hours. Sir IF's feet gave out before Meg's today, not that we are keeping track (insert smiley face here)! 

We walked through the building for the Tate Modern hopeful for some lunch but that wasn't going to work out. We didn't have enough energy left to go through the gallery itself today so will save that for another day. 

It's really beautiful to stroll along the riverwalk all the way to the hotel on both sides of the river and you get to see so many interesting buildings along the way. We continue to marvel at the way they incorporate all of the new buildings with unique architectural designs into the old historical buildings. Everything is so incredibly clean everywhere you walk. It's all very impressive. Their city planning department must be huge. We lunched at the Horniman Bar (no that is not a typo) and Meg got her first Club sandwich of the trip. Happy faces all around! 

Tonight we had another theatre outing. This time we went to the tap-dancing musical 42nd Street and it was spectacular. We were dithering over which play or musical to select and the ticket advisor said this one was a really lavish original-style production and he was absolutely correct. It was just like all of the old musicals that we used to see on television. Sometimes we have to pinch ourselves to believe that we are really here in London getting to see these productions. There was such a buzz of excitement with all of the people and families excited about their big night out, taking photos outside the theatre, and then again once they get in the theatre. It was very heartwarming and another great day in a beautiful city!
