SATURDAY: 20 JULY SCOTLAND AND LONDON:
Today we went on a 4 and a half hour trip on the train.
It wasn't that fun because we had to do our maths and there were really load
people sitting next to us.
When we got there we
got a taxi to Clare's house and to stay a night. We played chocolate scrabble
and had a Magnum. I won with the word PAINT and won a big chocolate coin but to
celebrate we ate our words!!!!!
SUNDAY: 21 JULY LONDON AND ST PAUL'S:
Today we had a babysitter to look after us while mum and dad went to the cricket. With the babysitter we went to St Paul's to go into the cathedral. The cathedral was really beautiful and the organs were playing wonderfully. we couldn't go all around the cathedral because there was a mass on so we could just have a look around one half.
After we went to St Paul's we went home and watched a movie called men in black.
After that we went to bed.
MONDAY: 22 JULY LONDON AND SCIENCE MUSEUM:
Today I was really looking forward to because w were going to the science museum. Last time we came to London we went to the science museum 2 times because there was soooo much stuff to look at ad sooo much to do but this time I wanted to do this Who Am I thing first though we didn't really do it first. We did it last and we didn't have time to do it all!!!!!!!!
What we DID do first was go to the medicine and body level and had a look around there. All there was there was disgusting stuff about bodies.
The next level we skipped because it was also disgusting stuff about bodies. Ugh!
The next level was much more exiting level because you could do stuff like seeing where your hot spots were on a really hot day... Mine were my armpits and me neck. We saw a show about rockets and how they go up into space and come down safely.
After a lot of explosions, we went out for dinner then went home.
TUESDAY: 23 JULY LONDON, HAMLEY'S AND CHOCY DOO DA:

Hamley's is a toy shop and it's really big and Chocy Doo Da is a really cool chocolate shop... There is even a chocolate Mona Lisa on a chocolate book!!!!!!!
At Hamley's there were 5 levels and each of them were filled with toys and lollies!!!!!
After Hamley's we went for a walk and got some chips and watched some people play ping pong in the park. After we did that we went home.

SUNDAY: 11 AUGUST LONDON AND THEATRE:
Today we went to the imperial war museum and learned about what secret spies did to solve mysteries and about this family and how they lived during the war. We got to see a model of a house which normal people would've lived in. Inside the house we saw that the people didn't have showers so they had to use jugs of water that were beside their beds to wash themselves. In the garden there was also a little bunker to stay in if there was a bomb rage and there siren went off.
After seeing all of that stuff we went to see a play called Romeo and Juliet by a famouse playwriter called Shakespeare. It was nothng like I thought it would be like because the stage was sooooooooooo small... About the size of half my classroom!!!! The play was really good and loud... The play was about two people from differernt families who hated each other and they wanted to be together but their families woudn't let them... The thing I didn't like about the play was that at the start the actors asked people from the crowd to join in but apart from that the play was really good!!!!!!!!
MONDAY: 12 AUGUST LONDON AND MUSEUM:
Today in the morning dad and I went to a museum called the Tate Brittan. The Tate Brittan is a museum filled with paintings old and new. It goes from tutor times to 1950, modern paintings. I personally don't like the old Tutor stile paintings. I prefer the modern paintings. most of the modern paintings were not all paintings, but sculptures... Very good sculptures that is!!! It was tempting to go clime them but unfortunately there were security around so that wasn't good.
After the museum we caught a taxi to Chelsea. It seemed that Chelsea loves their fashion because there were a lot of clothes shops.
After going home mum and I went to Waitrose, the English version for Coles for those who are Australian.
MONDAY: 19 AUGUST LONDON AND HOME:
Today we mostly stayed home because of Callum's chicken pox but at the end of the day we went for a little walk around Hampstead. That was nice.
TUESDAY: 20 AUGUST LONDON, MONUMENT AND BANK OF ENGLAND:
Today, after getting up, dad, Callum and I went to the bank of England which was really cool because there was loads of really old coins that were really shiny. We went to one case and there was a REAL gold bar that we got to pick up!!!!! The gold bar weighed 13kg and only dad could pick it up!!
We went to a really nice restarant and had lunch there before going to the monument which looks like this on the inside.

FRIDAY: 23 AUGUST LONDON AND WINDSOR:
Today we went with our "nanny" to Paddington Station to see if we could go to Brighton so we went in this REALLY big line and finally when we got to the front of the line, mum said it was too expensive so we went into the line for no reason!!!
We met mum who had the tickets for going to Windsor on the train. The train was really fast but it was also very crowded but when we got on the next train it was practically empty!!! When we got there we decided to have lunch so we went to this place called EAT which was cool because we went to this lolly shop afterwards which was PACKED with awesome lollies!!!! I had a mix of all the sour lollies (especially sour strips!!!!!!).
The line for Windsor castle was about 1km long and we didn't feel like spending another 45 minutes in a line while we could be eating loads of sour strips!!!
We got on the train and again it was empty. When we arrived at Paddington we got the tube to Finchly Road Station which is our station and went home.

SATURDAY: 24 AUGUST LONDON AND EVERYWHERE:
Today we went to see Monsters University first thing in the morning. It turned out that we were half an hour early so we decided to have a look around the mall place. When we found our seats in the movie mum brought out the sour lollies that she had in her handbag.
The movie was really good and my favourite character was Art who is this purple guy with two arms but no legs.
After the movie we went home and had lunch.
Later, we went out shopping and then had dinner at my favourite Japanese restaurant called Itso. After that we went to the Royal Albert Hall where we almost didn't make it to the concert!!! The concert was really great because it was really loud!!!!!

We went to this little playground that wasn't very good because the flying fox was in construction. After hat we went to see the Thames but it wasn't a very good view so we decided to go on the tube and go on home.
WEDNESDAY: 28 AUGUST LONDON AND GO APE:
Today we went to this awesome thing called Go Ape and it was like this thing where there were obsticals in the trees and you had to either climb them or go through them. At first you have to clip your harness on to a ladder and climb up the ladder. This is a picture of me going over a bridge
