Starting off like any other tourist group we went to St. Paul's Cathedral, but just before that we got to visit The National Theatre. What was special is that we were able to receive a mini tour to the backstage of this huge theatre. The Olivier's theatre consisted of 1160 seats and had a big house onstage that reminded of a bigger version of a doll house. we then visited couple other spots within the theatre. Afternoon, we went to watch Antony and Cleopatra at the Shakespeare's Globe theatre. The theatre was designed in one of that original theatre at the time of Shakespeare. It had no roof and there was no technology used whatsoever for the play. We had to stand for the whole play that was 3 hours. We took a short break at Starbucks for our legs/feet couldn't stand anymore of standing. Then we took a walk along the Thames River to find a place to eat at on the way to the London Eye. Half-way from our main destination we stopped, to act out a quick skit directed by Joshua Smalley. Sonya Svetenko and Adi Akas played the roles of a quarreling couple. We never planned on doing this thing, it was an absolutely spontaneous decision. However, we caught eyes of many pedestrians, had fun, and it was related to our theme of the trip. On our way to the London Eye, we stopped in a small restaurant for a dinner.After this small rest we hurried along the river to the London Eye, which was clearly seen from the distance. These ones who didn't go to the London Eye missed amazing views from the every top of London. It took us around 20 minutes to make a whole circle. Later in the evening, we went to the Reply's Believe It or Not Museum of weird and sometimes disgusting stuff. As we are all very creative creatures, we finished the day with checking out China Town and realizing that many homeless people have the same type of dog breed.
