8. Lambeth and South Bank

19 February 2011: Did this walk with Natalie and Amanda and, unfortunately, I think we were lost and/or backwards the whole time. We finally found our way once we got onto Lanbeth Street but before that, it was looking a little worrisome. It was rainy this day and cold but I enjoyed walking along the Thames and seeing how busy it was by the London Eye. There were street performers and facepainting like some sort of carnival was going on. Then, at the end of the walk, we ended up on The Strand and decided to find the Twinings original tea shop. We asked some people for directions and they sent us the wrong way! But Amanda was determined so we asked like 3 more people and finally ended up in the right place. The shop was smaller than I expected but it smelled DIVINE! Such a cool place :) So, this walk ended up pretty great and I had a fun time with a different crowd. It was a nice change of pace.
