Thames Festival Sunday 14th of September

We went down to the Thames Festival on Sunday the 14th of September to take a look at all the entertainment going on. The first thing we saw was the night Carnival. Though it was still light outside many of the floats had a glowing feel about them. The highlight had to be the Samba float as scantily clad lovelies gyrated there bottoms to the drum beat.

We headed over the bridge to the Southbank for some scrummy Moroccan food, and then the extremely long wait for the highly anticipated firework display.  An hour in, and with every bone in my body frozen the fireworks began. They were the best display i have ever seen, in all my years of displays on November 5th, and my travels to Thailand and Mexico, the display by the Thames beat them all. Mainly because it was a double display, each firework in unison on two sides of the river. Wish i got a video, but maybe next year.
