The 482 steps

This morning we returned to St Paul’s Cathedral - we climbed the 482 steps (very steep and narrow) to the top for the most amazing views. Most proud of myself! The weather has deteriorated a little, a very cold wind has picked up, but the rain has stayed away thankfully. Then it was off to Waterloo Station for an overland train to Twickenham.

We have now tried most of the transport options - underground, over ground, ferry, light rail and double decker bus. The only thing we haven’t tried is a London cab - they are everywhere.

We got a little lost at Twickenham - the little leggies were struggling!! A little confusing when the sign points to Museum of Twickenham in the opposite direction to Twickenham Museum. It was worth the effort tho’ - the rugby museum was really interesting, and the ground quite spectacular. We went on a guided tour of the stadium and toured the museum - it was pleasing to see NZ well represented there, although it was basically an English Rugby Museum.

Didn’t make it back to the hotel before the show so ate in the theatre district. Phantom was very well done, the sets were so amazing, and the production excellent. Allan especially loved this show, although I’d have to say ‘We Will Rock You’ was my favourite. I could have kept going to shows for weeks - would’ve loved to see Blood Brothers again, and Joseph.
