Day 8 - Last day of the Olympics and the Marathon
Day 8 - The Marathon is on so we head off into London again, this time down to the Embankment where we get a top viewing spot. The runners came around 5 times (we missed the first one), with the crowd encouraging every athlete. What an atmosphere. I couldn't get over the truck that carts the cameras around. There must have been at least 20 cameramen perched on an open truck clicking away and just ahead of the ...
Day 3 & 4 - The Old Country

Australia Day and more in London
... I had booked a single room (as thats all they had and it wasn’t too cheap so thought would be nice for once!) and they then upgraded me to a mini ‘apartment’ (not too flash still but better than anything else I’ve stayed in) which was literally across frlom the station, less than a minutes walk. So I was very pleased, especially as I was originally going to spend the night at the ...
