Dolphins under Tower Bridge

David Wynne's sculpture 'Girl with a Dolphin' (above) has graced the waterfront by Tower Bridge for nearly 30 years, but earlier this week there were real dolphins nearby.

Apparently three dolphins wanted a taste of the big city and so, like many an old salt before them, they headed under Tower Bridge for the Pool of London.

Having seen the sights, eaten some fish, posed for some photos, they felt they had "done" London (dudes, you missed Billingsgate Fish Market!) and headed back out to sea.

More on this story at the soaraway Sun.

Yeah. I spent a few hours in London once too.

Sounds like a business trip rather than fun

As I recall, I saw some of the sights, ate some fish, posed for some photos, and then headed home.

Might have been more than a few hours. Maybe I ran a marathon while I was there too.

I too was in London for a few hours. I did not run a marathon. I did my best to mind the gap.

As long as you stand to the right on the escalator you can't go far wrong.
