Being a tourist in London

ahhh, the sun!!!!!

it has been an AMAZINGLY warm and sunny long weekend here, and, unfortunately, both Alex and my self are now looking a little pinker than normal. Worse than that, we are sunburnt at the same time as having a filthy rotten cold... sigh...

However, viruses aside, nothing could stop us from having a walk about this city on the weekend. We decided to do the tourist thang and on Alex's Birthday we bought tickets to go on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour (on open top double decker red buses - hence the sunburn!) and Thames river cruise.

Pictures??

hehehe... I plead being blonde.... if you turn your head 90 degrees to the left... some of the photos will look the right way around.... hehehe... sorry.

Anyways, we finished our tour on Sunday with shark and tatties from the Sherlock Holmes pub, very nice.

Thats all for now. If you want to know more about the photos, you will have to ask.

Made it ok...

So... after spending almost 4 hours sitting in a plane going to nowhere in Wellington, we have made the long haul out here to London.
Things of interest in our journey:
1. Getting to know Sydney airport for a whole 20 minutes.... (damn late planes and things... at least we did make our connecting flight though....)
2. Monsoon season in Hong Kong (picture to follow) My god, what HUGE airport!!!!!!

3. Eating waffles with NZ anchor butter in Hong Kong... hehehe...

4. Alex always seeming to get the only seat on the aircraft with a faulty tv monitor. (LX.. grrrr....)
5. The amazingly long queue at Heathrow for immigration... a couple of hundred people all waiting in lines like cattle waiting to be dipped! however, the immigration guy we had was surprisingly pleasant.
6. Meeting a FANTASTIC Hannah at Heathrow, with help to get us on the tube... what an amazing amazing person!!!!!!

So... yeah, not too jetlagged, although seem to be waking up at ridiculously early times (bloody 6am.... grrr...) That includes Alex.... I KNOW!!!!!

todays mission is finding a cell phone, so you can all try to text soon!!!!

more soon!!!!

The Final Countdown (dododooo dooo, da da dan dan daan...)

So... this is it... the final countdown, 8 more sleeps and we will be on the plane to the Mighty Blighty!
Work is slowing down for both Alex and myself, and packing is becoming our main past-time, how boring!
We went out on the weekend and took a few nice shots of Wellington on a great sunny Sunday.

Well, thats all for now.
