Today (9th of June) we caught the train to see Rob and Sam and meet Thomas (who is 3). They have a three storey house + a basement and I slept on the top floor – next to Thomas’ room. All I could do was play with Thomas! It was raining. Every night I would have to calm Thomas down as he would get upset and I read him a story before he went to sleep.
Wet, wet, wet
Today (Friday 8th June) was wet and wild. We went to the Tate museum – it was very “interesting”. I liked the Picasso and wanted the diamonds off the skull (Damien Hirst “For the Love of God”). We went to Singing in the Rain in the afternoon – it was more than fabulous! I loved the high pitched girl (Lina Lamont) and when we got wet (we were in the 3rd row).
Fly, fly away
Today (Thursday 7th June) I went to the Science Museum. I loved the flight simulator and learning about the orphan elephants and orangutangs. The Apollo mission movie was fun – I got wet (they spray you with water) and then cold (air blowing over you). I liked the sculptures and clothing at the V&A museum.
London calling
We went to the Tower of London and we saw lots of real crowns – including the one worn by the Queen.
The block they used to chop off people’s heads was also there – it was a bit scary!
Amelies adventure begins
Today we started our big trip. My Mum had business class (otherwise known as a membership card) so we got to go in the qantas lounge. We went on the plane for 5 hrs. Now we are in Singapore at another qantas lounge eating great chocolate brownies! God I’m tired its half past ten! Bye – see you tomorrow.
