Church Programs For A Wedding

Cruise on the Thames (Emma and Manon)













We left Westminster boat around 15:30. The cruise lasted about 40 minutes. It was interesting but did not understand what the English guide said he had a very particular focus.
We saw Westminster Bridge is a pedestrian bridge and road. Then we went under Blackfriars Bridge Road, which for us is more beautiful and better architected the Westminster Bridge.



We then headed to Cannon Railway Bridge and Southwark Bridge. These two bridges are very different, the Railway Bridge Cannon has more the impression of blockade while Southwark was built with a more elegant way.








We passed near the TB wer Bridge. This bridge is so radiant and majestic. Not to mention his two laps of a remarkable height and perfect symmetry. We had previously seen pictures of this bridge but the fact of seeing reality changes dramatically as it becomes better reflect its proportion.







During the cruise we saw buildings other than bridges such as: the Gherkin building resembling a gherkin, hence its English name.









There are also Tower of London is a former prison now where are kept the jewels of Queen Elizabeth II. We find that this building is quite impressive and it makes us think of a castle.







There is still Shakespeare's plays which we find quite beautiful architecture. This architecture brings to mind that of Normandy, called studs.


Finally, we saw the Mayor of London who has an original form because it is oval and looks like the tower of Pisa.




Then finally, the cruise ended, we got off the boat and walked around the city.
