Wembley – I win the FA Cup – – what a tourist!!!

Thursday – the day is fine – Kylie has gone to work – so I am off again to see what adventures unfold today. Wembley Stadium sounds like a good idea and as the station is on the same line as Kilburn (where Kylie lives) I decide to take myself off to see the mighty stadium.  It is such a huge place.

I book the tour for 11.15am and have a bit of a look around the museum section.  It truly is an amazing place.  We get to go right to the top seats, into the change rooms, even where the Royal Party has tea.

Then it’s off to walk through the tunnel to the pitch and as we do they play the sound of the crowds cheering – which is what the players hear when they take the pitch for the game.  Bummer is that you cannot go onto the pitch for the simple reason that every tourist would pick some turf to take back home. How did they know that was on my mind?

Every one in the group is ‘presented’ with a replica of the FA Cup – not to keep – just to have our photo taken as we hoist it on high.  Yes, tragic tourist!!

After my little venture to Wembley, Kylie and I decide to go to the movies.  We choose ‘Something about Mary’.  What a lousy picture – – should have stayed at home and watched the news or even the blank screen.  Would have been  more interesting.

Highlight of the day : Wembley – the home of football fanatics!
