However, we must continue the story of London (I want to tell you everything until the new year). Now find ourselves inside the famous Tower Bridge. At the outskirts of the Tower , I wandered around the fall and I really enjoyed it.

Therefore, on the first day we have to Masha was scheduled the following programs: Tower Hill underground station, then walk around the Tower, on the bridge to the other side and walk to Borough Market and then the subway to Waterloo and take a ride on the London eye (or eyes?) . So, a very good trip.
The gray sky, blue bridge design also some gray and gloomy. Albion.

Angry Birds.

On the bridge sit birds like the game Angry Birds.

We go to the north tower, from which the tour starts.

And here is the view from the tower at the place where we went.

Tour is as follows: climb into a tower on the elevator, watching a movie about building a bridge (on the big screen). Go through the corridor between the two towers. In another tower to watch a movie again (it was below), go down the elevator, exit the tower and go into the engine room to learn how and why the bridges.

Gallery between the towers.

There hung photographs and descriptions of the most famous bridges in the world. Very surprised at not finding in it the famous bridge in Volgograd. It also does sample of engineering and bridge construction.

All for the people. In several places there are special windows that can be photographed views of the Thames, not through the glass.

Although it through the glass pretty well, too.

In the second tower is very informative animation of how to build a bridge. Could not resist and took a pirated copy from your hands.Here's what happened. A little crooked, but I tried to compensate for this soundtrack from Radiohead

We descended the stairs.

Once again looking picture with the scheme of the bridge (if something remained unclear after viewing the video).

To pass into the engine room, need to go out and go strictly by the blue line.On the way unusual eclecticism of old and new to the River Thames.

But inside the second part of the museum struck me the bridge is not even the bridge itself, and the approach with which the museum has arranged.
Everything is made to any person to understand what the Tower Bridge and how it works. How is it different from all our museums (which, I believe, are no less interesting, but our approach beats all the desire to know what ...).

So, on the approach. Briefly it can be described as follows.

Tell me something.

And will forget.

Show me something.

And I can remember.

Involve me.

And I will understand.

Tell me.
And I forget.

Show me.
And I can remember.

Involve me. And I understand.
Like to look at the equipment? See, here it is in natural size.

Want to see in motion?
Please.
Props of course, all neat and lit, but still.

Interesting details?
They can learn from the excellent arrangements that were made so that even the humanities understand than hydraulics different thermodynamics and mechanics.

Still do not understand how the bridges? Then watch the next animated feature film.

See and read to you enough to understand?Then put the experiment yourself.

Интересно и детям и взрослым.

It is interesting to both children and adults.

Again, do not you understand?
Then watch another scheme.

At the end of the story about the history of the bridge - jump Robbie Maddison through it on a motorcycle. The hall is the same bike and equipment.

Rounding out the post again gloomy picture Tower Bridge, but on the other side.

[size=+1]Yummy post about Borough market

I'll show you how we went to the grocery market, Borough Market .
Go to the old market which is already mentioned in 13 th century, advised me to a taxi driver who drove me from the airport.
Campaign decided to schedule a lunch Saturday.
The market is located under the railway bridge. Location is as if to organize a food market anywhere in the area of three stations in Moscow.

Even during the approach to it in the dark arched hallway you can feel all kinds of smells edible.

On the territory of a lot of people about some of the counters are going to small crowds and queues.Some places have to thoroughly knock.

And somewhere more room.

The market consists of three parts, roughly in the center hangs a map here.

Each piece is different.

middle market а green market

For example, middle market is located directly under the bridge and partially on the street, and the green market represents a picture with a high ceiling mounted.

On the market come with two goals: to buy food and eat.
Since the products we buy are not going to (so as to continue to walk around town with bags of food as something is not comme il faut), we only examined the cabinet.
What is there just is not.

Вот мясо.

Here's the meat.

But fish and seafood.

Cheese.

And vegetables with fresh herbs.

Of course sweets.

Traditional English pies. Very tasty, I liked, though I have eaten them only in restaurants.

And I do not even remember that.

Virtually all can try before you buy.Some of these and limited.And coming here just to eat. Stalls with all sorts of hot dogs, kebabs, shawarma, burgers and other meals are not the most useful and attract their scents.And even I am not a fan of this meal, I could not resist the temptation.

But decided to start with mineral soups.
Which to choose?
You can taste a little cup of soup (such as espresso) for free.

Некоторые так и стоят, пробуют и наедаются постепенно.

Some of them are, try and get full step by step. And all decent people like

Here is this?

No, on the other. Pour.

Eating soup on the road, looking for something to eat yet.That make sandwiches with cheese, which melts at a special device.

Here's a colorful guy, as if out of advertising drops Fishermans Friend is selling smoked fish.No doubt for some reason does not appear that she is really from the west coast of Ireland.

Masha by the smell brings us to the most delicious place to eat.

You see what kind of dogs!

All take.

Next at a table nearby slowly eat it all. It is understood that essentially eat fast food on the market right on the aisle.Nearby are the people on top then drips the rain, or snow. But still somehow everything is tasty and clean.

By the way, with hot mulled wine (a neighboring tent) even more tasty

And finally, a small, traditional plan in the past and future posts on this trip.

[size=+1]London Eye (day and night)

Не успели вы прочитать про Тауэрский мост , как я уже хочу вам показать Лондон с высоты птичьего полета.

No sooner had you read about the Tower Bridge , as I want to show you London from a bird's flight.

В прошлую поездку пока я отстоял очередь на колесо, уже стемнело и я увидел ночной город с высоты более 100 метров.

In the last trip until I stood up to turn the wheel, it was already dark and I saw the night the city from a height of more than 100 meters.

В эту поездку решил, что надо посмотреть тоже самое, но при дневном свете.

In this trip decided that we should look the same, but in the daylight.

Покатаемся на колесе обозрения еще раз?

Ride on the Ferris wheel again?

Заодно и сравним виды днем и ночью.

At the same time and compare the kinds of day and night.

Тогда приглашаю под кат смотреть фотографии.

Then invite a category to view pictures.

Погода выдалась что надо.

Weather has stood out is necessary.

Как раз для серых и хмурых фотографий.

As time for the gray and gloomy pictures.

В этот раз у меня с собой не было объектива фиш-ай и пришлось фотографировать Лонондский Глаз издалека.

At this time I have with him was not the lens fish-aye and I had to photograph Lonondsky Eye from afar.

Очередь на вход была небольшая, зато была огромная очередь в кассу за обычными билетами.

Turn on the entrance was a small, but it was a huge queue at the cash desk of conventional tickets.

Чтобы успеть до заката, пришлось покупать билеты Fast Track в отдельной кассе (в которой не было очереди вообще).

To catch up to the sunset, had to buy tickets for Fast Track in a separate office (in which there was no queue at all).

Одну кабинку вытащили.

One booth pulled out.

Остался только каркас.

There is only one frame.

Далее последовал подъем и полный круг.

Then followed the rise and come full circle.

Что я могу сказать?

What can I say?

Наверное, путеводитель был прав.

Probably, the guide was right.

Ночью эффектнее.

Night spectacular.

Сравните сами.

Compare for yourself.

Внизу по Темзе активное судоходство.

At the bottom of the Thames active navigation.

Почти самая верхняя точка.

Almost the topmost point.

В этот раз стекла кабинки были особенно грязными.

This time the glass booth were especially dirty.

То, которое выходило на восток было еще более менее.

Then that went to the east was still less.

И снова день-сумерки-ночь.

Again, day-dusk-night.

Найдите 10 отличий.

Find the 10 differences.

Биг Бен днем и ночью.

Big Ben during the day and night.

И немного фотографий нас, уставших после прогулок по городу.

And some photos of us who are tired after walking around the city.

Как бы это не было банально, но я все еще рекомендую обязательно покататься на этом колесе, если будете в Лондоне.

As if that was not corny, but I still recommend always ride on this wheel, if you're in London.

Сам же с удовольствием повторил поездку в яркий и солнечный день с хорошим телеобъективом

Himself with pleasure repeated visit to the bright and sunny day with a good telephoto lens

[size=+1]London again

Today I'll show you some pictures.

For four days we saw all possible weather - snow, rain, fog and clear sunny skies.
We looked at the changing weather, from the fourteenth floor of the hotel and many many walks.

Даже несмотря на отсутствие привычного нам снега рождественское настроение присутствовало.

Despite the absence of the usual snow we attended the Christmas mood.

Перед национальной галереей установили елку.

Before the National Gallery set tree.

Магазины соревнуются между собой в оформлении витрин.

Stores compete with one another in the design of windows.

Этого Санта Клауса все уже видели наверное и не раз, но я не удержался и сфотографировал.

This Santa Claus all have seen probably more than once, but I could not resist and took a picture.

Покатались на колесе (в этот раз будут дневные фотографии).

Rode on the wheel (this time will be daytime photos).

Посмотрели достопримечательности.

Visitors attractions.
