Rob, Lesley, Christine and I went out today to see London, we picked up our Olympic tickets for the game and stumbled upon a fantastic food market where the food is amazing! You can buy anything from oysters to fruit to trying out different food from around the world.
Trafalgar square, Hyde park, Regent St , Covent Garden, all places we went to see. Amazing, busy, vibrant and we loved it! London has not changed that much but has many more people here now of so many different cultures but the atmosphere is still the same and why I love London!
The people are really friendly especially to Kiwis and we have met alot of the local Brits. The weather is very like NZ with four seasons in one day, when we left it was hot and sunny but changed quite quickly to cold and wind with a drop in temperature.
We had a beer and wine at the Nags Head which was the pub Rob and I worked in when we were 20 and 22 years old! It hasn't changed much, such a beautiful pub with a lot of memories of late nights drinking and playing games with the rest of the kiwis we worked with.
So cool to be walking down memory lane 29 years later! We all had a great day and came back to the flat to cook our meal. We are still a bit jet lagged and are flagging at about 5-6 pm. So as soon as we come right, we will be out painting the town red!
