First Day
We got up at 5am and went to Newcastle Airport. When we got there we went through customs. We showed them our boarding passes. I checked the information screen to see which Gate to go to.
The flight just took an hour.

When we got to Gatwick we then got the train and tube to London centre.
 |
| We Saw Saint Peters |
We walked to the Tate Modern art gallery over the Thames.

The Tate Modern was huge. I looked at a lot of art. The art I liked the most was by the artists Nolde, Turner and Rothko.
 |
| Emil Nolde |
I liked liked Nolde because it was similar to the style that I paint in.

| A Turner picture |
 |
| Mark Rothko |
Rothko's picture made me think. If I stared at them I felt I was going through a door into the unknown. Again Rothko used few colours.
 |
I saw the Tower Bridge
|
We also saw some street art.
After we had checked in and freshened up we took the Underground to Westminster where we saw Big Ben

After our busy day I used the Underground to get back to our Youth Hostel
2 Day
We took the Tube back to Waterloo station. I navigated.
 |
| I used the Street Directions |
 |
| Using the Tube was easier when you knew how to read the map. |
We went on the London Eye. I took loads of pictures.
 |
| A picture I later painted |
After this we met up with Alison's cousin and went out for a meal in the East End.
3 day
I used the Tube and the street signs to navigate to the Apple store in Regent street. I had never been there before. We met Alison there.
We looked at some of the smaller galleries in the area.
Then Ali and I went to the Natural History museum.

| We saw some weird things |
London was really big. I felt a bit nervous at first but would now like to go back to see the bits I missed.
