Cuddly Kiwi visits Wales

Our visiting Kiwi had a great weekend. He went up to London on Friday with Bethan, to see the sites. Bethan was positively bursting with th news of their fab weekend.
First they went down the River Thames on a boat as far as Tower Brdige ( Kiwi felt a little sea sick apparently)

Bethan, Kiwi and her family including Bethan's cousin who is in most of the photographs, then went to The Tower of London to see The Crown Jewels, while they were there they met a Beefeater ( Guard) who was originally from New Zealand and had a Kiwi pin inside his hat !!

The journey continued with a trip on The London Eye, from the top Kiwi couldn't quite see New Zealand, but he did look very hard - he got a bit light headed from being so high up, and felt much better with his feet on the ground.

Later in the day they went to The Houses of Parliament where Kiwi looked up at the Tower of Big Ben


Kiwi did visit Buckingham Palace and sat on the wall outside, there was aflag on the flag pole, but we are not sure that The Queen was in, Kiwi also went to Hamleys the biggest Toy Shop in the world, here he found some friendly cuddly animals to play with...
He finished his journey with a visit to Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station - the platform that Harry Potter and his friends use to get to Hogwarts... wow what a busy weekend, no wonder he and Bethan were bursting to tell us about their adventures today in school.
