Day 42 London

Good sleep again last night- there is a lot of traffic noise outside but I much prefer that to stereo's or dogs barking so all good.

We were meeting Renee Coombes from Ohaupo today so we took our first tube in 5 years and I remember why I hate them. Airless, hot, waaay underground down 8 flights of stairs. When Im in the tube I think that it would be my worst nightmare to be down here in a train if a bomb went off and it went dark- unless you also added big spiders raining down on me- and then I would need the de-fibrillaters you see on the walls haha!

The view from the bottom of the tube!

We got out and went for a walk along the tower bridge and had a giggle as we passed the underground KFC where we went on the first trip with Danni and they gave us a massive bucket with the chicken in that we couldnt get rid of cos there were no rubbish bins- we made Dan carry it and she was even embarrassed at 10!

Walked across London bridge and back then got another tube to meet Renee, Those little 9 year old girls from Ohaupo school have so grown up! Renee is doing rea;ly well and living the life here- good on her.

Had a nice lunch together then back on the tube to somewhere! had a beer in a pub then and onto the Victoria line to Oxford circus -stopped for a pint in a pub then we walked around for a bit before another! bus back to our local where we now sit having our second pint of the day at 3.30pm (well Graeme is on his 3rd guiness!) cos its hot hot hot here- gotta keep up the fluids you know!

Soho park at lunchtime!





We are going out to Heathrow tomorrow,leaving there at 7.30pm, bound for Seoul where we are going into the city for a night before flying the next leg home. So excited to see my girls, the little girl and Mum and Dad :-)
