    Tigger World MWO Tour

    Fantastic pictures. Wow, even the lousy weather can't keep you inside. Thanks so much for the tour of all those places. Looking forward to more.

      Tigger World MWO Tour

      Hey all,

      Glad you're enjoying the pics - I am having sooo much fun!

      Grateful, although London is a big city, central London is relatively small, with a lot of the major tourist sites grouped quite close together, in pockets. For example, Tigger wants to go visit the Queen (we might do that today if Her Maj is in!). Well Buckingham Palace is really close to Big Ben and Parliament so we'd do that at the same time. So mainly, I've noted down things to do and then just wandered around the area trying to get them all done. I do love walking from place to place around London though, rather than taking the tube - because wherever you are there's always interesting little bits along the way, like statues and parks, so I am covering quite a few miles!

        Thanks for that explanation, Kim. It really does look like you are having fun.....I'd like to put myself in a box and come visit you for a bit. I don't really need to see the Queen though....the cemetary sounds like fun!! Anyway, you are a good sport and very generous with your time...you remind me alot of my own daughter who is your age...(that's a good thing!).

        Have Fun and be Safe!!

            Accents can be difficult. Just watch "True Blood " sometime and see what passes for southern U.S. accents!

              Oh my god guys - the most random thing just happened. I just saw some of the Royal Family arriving at Buckingham Palace - no joke! It was getting quite dark but the palace was on the way to the tube anyway so I thought i'd see if i could get a few photos in.

              There were a couple of policemen outside the palace gates and I asked one if he'd be in a photo with tigger (I am collecting policemen now). But he said sorry he couldn't as 'someone important' was about to arrive - but that if I hung around for 5 or 10 minutes, it'd be a great photo opportunity. But said he wasn't allowed to say who it was and 'don't tell anyone I told you...'

              So I waited and who should drive up in a car but Prince Charles and the Princes William and Harry - I didn't take a photo as it goes, because it didn't feel right - I was only a few feet away from their car and I'm not a papparazzo or anything, so i refrained. Pretty cool though, huh? see the funny things that happen when you let a Tigger into your life ;-)

              By the way, tigger waved and asked if the Queen would be inviting him to tea soon, seeing as he's a Special Visitor from abroad.

              Anyway i'm off to my meeting now, but will post the pics I did take when I get back.

                Kim, that's amazing!! I totally understand about the picture thing. Of course I've never seen the royal family, but have met/seen sev American celebs. I felt the same way, like I would be invading them or something. Proud of you, girl!!

                    So... You kind of do know the Queen in an offhand way...

                      Haha it's funny Fluff - that's just what I was thinking after going on about how everyone seems to think all English people are acquainted with the queen

                        After yesterday's silliness, Auntie Kim said that we would be doing cult-oor-al things again today. We started off at the Natural History Museum



                        This is the big dinosaur in the Central Hall


                        I learnt some interesting facts about what humans are made of from this sandman-thingy. Personally I am made of boingyness and happiness...

                          I met some of my cousins - hello Cousin Leo!



                          This is my clan, see it says Meat-eaters? They mean Spam...


                          This poor Sabre-toothed Tigger is now extinct! I guess he couldn't figure out how to use a can-opener

                            I guess these things must be flying fish!



                            This yardstick is supposed to show you how tall some of the dinosaurs would have been. Yikes - it makes me realise what a teeny tiny Tigger I really am...



                            DON'T EAT ME! PLEASE! Tiggers are a bit chewy - you'd be picking me out of your teeth for ages!

                              This is a replica of the biggest piece of gold ever found in one piece. Think of all the Spam you could buy with that!


                              And this is a piece of Martian rock! Personally I prefer Aerosmith. Oh dear, a terrible joke - time for a lie down...


                              This is not what i had in mind...

                                Just over the road, we visit the Victoria and Albert Museum, where we find Chillgirl doing Yoga - Kim says it is a sculpture by Rodin, but I still think it's Chillgirl..



                                I just can't get the lotus position...


                                This was Pete Townsend's guitar that he smashed up on stage. I asked Auntie Kim what band he was is but she kept asking 'The Who?' - I guess she doesn't know about music, man...
