Today, we went to the South Bank of the Thames for a Sunday walk. We had a nice time, walking across Waterloo Bridge, shopping for used books at the stalls under the bridge and just outside the National Film Theatre (I bought Robert Harris's "Fatherland" for £2 (about $3.60), then walking down the bank.
We wound up at the Tate Modern, where this was the last day of The Weather Project, a giant installation replicating the midnight sun inside the former power station and created by Olafur Eliasson.
We had a nice lunch at the museum's ground-floor cafe: white bean soup and parmesan bread for Diane, fish and chips with mushy peas for Jay, butternut squash soup with mascarpone cream and a Thai vegetable curry for me.
We went up to the fifth floor for the great view of St. Paul's Cathedral and the City on the North Bank. Then we left the museum, walked along the Thames to the London Bridge tube stop and headed for home.
A little chilly, perhaps, but all in all a nice day out.
