Well, we've arrived in one piece (although Air NZ left my backpack in Auckland - it arrived a day after us thankfully) and my cousin Heather has been our more-than-kind host in Ealing, west london.
We spent wednesday arvo and evening in a bit of a daze while the jetlag wore off, but despite had a great evenin at a local english pub - dinner and drinks with some of the crew (Heather, Fordham, Kristen, Savvy, MC and Doreen) - and was great to see them all after such a long time. A huge thanks to them for travelling across busy london to catch up and shout us a meal and a few pints of warm ale and cider :-) You guys rock...
London has been sunny but ridiculously cold in comparison to the recent warmth of AK- lucky for me I had my snow gear in a seperate bag so wasn't stuck wearing a shorts and a t-shirt for the day... We did the usual walkabout- cruising through hyde park, past buckingham palace, down to the thames and along the south bank, over the tower bridge and up to liverpool station before catching up with Erica - Jen's brother's girlfrind who has been living in Dublin and London for the past 6 months. So many people we know here...
We're off to check out the oxford st, and then west end / Soho now, hopefully catch up with Doreen for lunch and a coffee - if anyone knows where to get a good coffee in London, it'll be Doreen :-)
Tomorrow arvo will see us all jetting off to Bulgaria for a week on the slopes - Woohoo!!
peace,
G&J
