Londontown..

Well I have arrived in Londontown! Got in and caught up with Anna in Windsor and spent 10 days doing the following : Notting hill markets and a catchup with Ryan, KD, Blair, Craig and Mel. Few big nights out in town, Some Sunday roasts, caught up with Queenie at Windsor castle and ran in the great park which just keeps going and going. Was disappointed that legoland was a gay children’s amusement park and not the legendary lego structures I had imagined. Hung out and walked the city parks & gardens, saw some of the NZ war memorials which are pretty cool.

Walked through about 60% of the monopoly board, including Mayfair which just oozes money in the form of ferrairs and masseratis. Did a few museums, the best was prob the natural history museum with the dinosaurs section.

Ran into Rob T on the street in the suburbs, seriously what are the chances! So we did some touristie stuff all shirted up, the way to not be treated as a real tourist.

Had a day at the churches, Westminster abbey, pretty mind blowing, lots of toombs, history and famous people all with a story most impressive thing here was the intricate roof in the chapel that holds the second higest knighting order in England. Also went to an evesong service at St Pauls, amazing building with the huge open dome and sweet acoustics for such a huge space.

All and all really enjoyed the time I spent in London, a big thanks to all who put me up Anna, Jono & Kirsten, Rhino, Nat & Dan much appreciated.
