... Curries better than Indian Food; just so happened in the Breakfast Room, we were outnumbered 2-1 with people from India. We hit Russell Square and used our 7 day travel card I purchased with the London Pass. Our in depth tour of London and surrounds - starts now: GO. Sub Para - The Black Fool It was a rocky start to say the least. We got on the train at Russell Square as mentioned and got off at Holborn to meet up with another line ...

... morning of Sunday, September 30, 1888, at a little after 1:00 AM, the rain had stopped, but the night was still cool, and water and mud were everywhere. The murdered body of Long Liz Stride had been found a little less than three quarters of a mile or 1200 meters southeast of here. Her throat had been cut, but there were no other ...

... part of the trip thus far: Speaker's Corner. Swearing, spitting, singing- from the homeless to the affluent- a good mix of people turn up to hear what these people have to say. This is the place in London to go to protest or preach without a permit. Just a bunch of people that have something, anything to say come to this corner of the park and get up on their soapbox and rant- it was brilliant! There were religion bashers, Jesus lovers, religious singers, Holy Rollin-recruiters, a man ...

... this much extravagance though if I owned this punch bowl I might actually make something in a kitchen.<br><br><br><br><br><br> Tower Bridge <br><br><br><br>When you see postcards of London, chances are the photo will be of either Big Ben or "London Bridge". Both of these are misnomers - Big Ben is actually a bell, not a clock; and the main bridge everyone recognises is actually Tower Bridge, and it doesn't fall down but rather rises several times a day to let ...

So it's the count down to the big one. Check-in in 4 hours. The flight to Luton from Glsagow left on time and arrived early! So far so good. I hope the rest go just as well. The weather has been great this weekend, had a really good time catching up with Nigel and Fiona, and hearing all about the wedding and their own trip to Thailand.Which is only making me more excited. So this time tomorrow, I'll be in ...

... decided to see if we could get it to fit if it was packed another way. Failing that we decided that we may have to buy another hand luggage bag and take it on board with us. Voila! It fits! Current suitcase weight? About 30kgs (x $59 per kilo thats $590AUD for excess baggage). Thankfully we are off to London first on the eurostar and can worry about it when we get there. As the train pulls away from the station and we settle in for a 2h20 ride we think about the past ...

... with fresh ironed white quilt covers! I was impressed! Very clean and comfy and definitely no old quilts, which you think the last time they were cleaned was in prehistoric times!!! Outside our window which looked into a courtyard, was a big construction walkway, with scaffolding set up (with a couple of old condoms hanging off it. OK! Good to see everyone's having a good time!) Our room just had a bunks, basin and lockers with showers ...

... I couldn't really pass up. We found a few folding chairs, I believe the pews were full. I was a little disappointed as the Cathedral was under going restoration, which is good for the Cathedral, but the scaffolding was ugly, and obscured the beautiful views. An angelic choir took up post at the high altar, now I've seen these all male choirs singing in the movies, complete with the young boys filling out ...

... a couple of nights and also my old schoolies from BsAs Julia and Lauren. I even managed to learn my first phrase in Japanese from a waitress in Soho (see photo). As is my tradition, I spent my last days back with Mark working as his flunkie. We managed to install some pretty speccy lighting around a lakeside hotel - and we spent the last few hours at the hotel bar admiring our talents as the light reflected off the water. So Mark when are you going to offer ...
