Westminster

Gutted that we couldn't take photos as there so many beautiful spots and sights in the cathedral.

Eventhough it was a weekday when we went, the place was completely packed and difficult to spend much time in most places. 

Particularly, I was moved by Elizabeth 1 grave and Her sisters, Mary.

I am really impressed as we travel around, by the access given to kids now.  Most places have a kids trail or an audio especially for kids. I'm just hoping they are able to digest all the info and sights they are being immersed in.

The kids trail at Westminster was pretty intense and long. Its one we have kept for a project for kids to do when we get back to Aus and homeschool

Madam Taussaudes

Gosh its been such a long time since we went here last.. And so great to seeing so many changes.

I love the lay out - we wandered round an A list party with the hottest hollywood stars hanging out. Music pumped and disco balls flashed.

Gratifying to see Sean Connery - one of my all time crushes- still looking suave and reserved as he watches the younger crowd. Yes.. Had to get a photo..

We wove round past Hollywood greats

And sports heroes, onto the more gruesome and grim displays of earlier Taussades. I went through the dungeons, which was fine, but not particularly  educational, more strobe lighting and gusts of chilled air coupled with costumed characters who leapt out to frighten people.

I got my photo taken for inspiration, I guess, with Shakespeare - though find it hard to believe he was that tall.. 

The last rooms were for the super heroes, which I thought would be a bit naff..however, the 4 D show was excellent!! And a great round off for the experience.

Not a hoax or joke.

Just so you know, my post about Adrian and I no longer being married is not a sick joke or a hoax. Though ever molecule of me wishes someone would wake me from this living nightmare.

The kids are fine and they are my reason for breathing.

I wake up and breathe everyday.

We will continue our trip and be back in Australia in early July
