Playing tourists
We took some time out of our busy schedule the other day to do a bit of sightseeing. St Paul’s Cathedral, to be exact.
Yes, we did live here for over 10 years, and yes, we have sat outside during that time while we’ve waited for guests of ours to make their way back out, but this was our first visit. The difference this time? Free tickets! Always a good reason to go!
And we were suitably impressed. As you can’t help but be. Although for the next 2 days my calves were feeling the effects of clambering up all the stairs to the very top. I’m glad it was in 3 stages. All in one go might have been just a bit much.
Would I pay? Hmmm. Maybe. I think its probably worth it, you know… to erm, pay to walk up all those stairs and to take in the lovely architecture! It really is quite impressive and quite tall. And the whispering gallery actually works. I even had a smile when Bec made me participate in the whispering just so she could say we had done it. And the views from midway and the top were good too… So all in all pretty good, I guess!
I’m not sure I’ve ever felt more the tourist here, though!
But have you been to the Churchill Museum or the Somes Museum yet??
(And the latter is free!)
Ummmm. They’re on the list, but there’s not much time to get through it all!.
