Best Western Donnington Manor Hotel Sevenoaks

to cap off my winter break i visited a friend in london. i know london isn't so exotic, but it was my first time there, so it was very exciting for me. luckily the people i was staying with live in a great location in kennington (north of brixton, in the borough of lambeth) near lambeth and westminster bridges. getting to london was another early morning for me, but luckily i live a 2 min walk from the train station. the ride from edinburgh to london is around 4 hours ...

I arrived at the Heathrow airport in England approximately one hour before New Years. I had previously had some pretty terrible experiences at that particular airport, but this time I did not have to catch another flight. This time I met my old friend Becca and jumped on the underground to get to the train station. Standing underneath the station ceiling in London, listening to the fireworks going off that symbolized the change to the new year, I ...

One day to acclimatise to the cooler weather. Not to bad here, some rain of course when I arrived and cold in the morning when I walked in Hyde Park and couldn't find my hotel! Saw the Lion King and went back to Africa for a few hours. I really enjoyed the show especially when they were singing in Swahili! Need to watch the cartoon when I get home. A few more hours and I am home.........

the car is here...

... Wal Mart....except green, and much nicer. In fact, it probably is the same company....they had the same smiley face and logo. When we got back home, her husband Faruk was kind enough to take us out to central London, to help us get a feel for the transportation system. When we purchased our tickets, I was so excited to find out that the cut off age to be considered a child in Europe is 15! (and word had it that its in the works of being changed to 18) In other words ...

... scrambled over to get a photo which shows the crowd with the passing flame hovering above. Westminster Abbey is impressive, a place of worship which will probably be most remembered for Diana's funeral. But what is even more impressive is the House of Parliament. This building is simply amazing; not only for its sheer size but also the fine detail of its stonework, gold plating on its decorative features and of cause, it's clock tower 'Big Ben'. We concluded of tour with ...

JENNY'S BLOG... I'm very excited that we're going on holiday soon to Australia and New Zealand. I'm going to take lots of photo's. I'm going to try to do my Round-The-World brownie badge. I'm going to use ...

... like I'm working, have all contributed to my lack of blogging. It would seem that my last entry was Thanksgiving, so I guess I'll pick up where I left off. October was a really busy month for me, I had many friends come and visit. Matt and Kristy never made it back to London on their way out of the London, but they did manage to get engaged while in Scotland, so I'll forgive them... this time (did you set a date yet? hehe). In their absence I instead ...

Ok, so my first interview for a real job didn't go that well. It was a telephonic interview and they only got to the part about my visa being valid for only one year to work and they were quick to go. Oh well I am sure that something better is on it's way for me. I came over here to be with the one I love and to get some work experience and I just ...

I had a quick stop in Nairobi to say goodbye to Kevin and to Africa! Then a long overnight flight through Dubai to London. My real aim is to get to Portugal, but the cheapest way out of east africa seems to be to go to london. Lucky for me, I was met by the hospitality of Ian Lamb and his lovely fiance Helen. Ian is basically my cousin's cousin's cousin...He is from ...
