London Easter Egg Hunt

This occurred on the same day as my journey to the Olympic Park Stadium but I thought it was great enough to have it's own post.

After the Olympic Park Stadium, Greta and I travelled to Covent Garden to check out the Market.  It took us quite some time to find the actually market.  If you saw from my previous post getting places fast is not our thing.  On our walk we ran into a giant easter egg.  Starting on February 21st and lasting for 40 days, 200 giant Easter Eggs are scattered around central London.  It is called the Faberge Big Egg Hunt.  This event aims to raise awareness for charities Action for Children and Elephant Family.  The eggs have been designed by a leading artist, fashion designer, jeweler, or architect.  In Covent Garden alone we found 13 eggs and I hope we can find more as we tour more sites.  I will update this post with more pictures of eggs because they all have very unique designs. I found a total of 32 eggs!

Then the week before Easter weekend I found all the eggs!  They had all been moved to a central location in Covent Garden.  I wished I could have taken a picture of each individual egg but I had a test to get to.

Other than the egg hunt, Covent Garden had a very good market.  Saturdays are arts and crafts day and there were a lot of crafts that I considered buying and might need to go back for some purchases.  In addition, there are a lot of street performances.  We found 2 different acts and watched them for a little bit.
