Flohr's Henley-on-Thames

... Greys. We may have been the first Hollywood wedding the vicar had down (his words!) but Tom Parker-Bowles had married there with Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall attending along with Princes William and Harry in 2005.

The service was short, lovely and very similar to a regular wedding service - complete with ring exchange and vows.

After the service we took a few photos in the church before heading off to the pub. The pub - The ...

... by, where everyone had some hubbly-bubbly!! (the innocent type) final at the end of the long day we headed home, exhausted but amazed at how MANY South Africans are in London!! (the place was packed with about 2000 Saffas!!!) fun fun. Have a look on Facebook for the pics I took of Just Jinger!!! (of the thousands I took Jacques will only let me put up a few!!!)

... doors! Also another market was within the carnival and there you could find food of every shape and colour! Jacques bought a coconut drink (no not a coconut flavoured drink, they chopped a hole into a coconut and put a straw into the centre!) was terrible!! But he drank it!! Then we picked up some lunch, which could have been deep-fried road kill masquerading as chicken, but in this carnival spirit you throw caution to the wind! (I regretted that decision later!!) We ...

The bronze statue of Peter Pan is in Kensington Gardens, next to Hyde Park. The exact location was chosen by Peter Pan's author, J.M. Barrie. Barrie lived close to Kensington Gardens and published his first Peter Pan story in ...

... asked us to buy for her.... Sorry Kaye we will get you some next time we are in the UK (just kidding we replaced them for you). The show was brilliant. We were in the "Gentleman's Box" that was on the side close to the stage so we looked across the stage rather than at it. A tad more expensive than the five pound "stand" area below the stage that we had tried to get the last time we were in London but worth it. The whole show is put on ...

... at Hyde park until dusk - catching up on goss and how they were going in Qatar before agreeing to meet outside the Queens house the following morning to see the changing of the guard. The tube home to Wimbledon was excruciatingly slow, and we stumbled through Jenny and Micks door at about 10.30 - gratefully scoffed the pizza and chips that should have been consumed hours before, but yum none the less.

... in my own head, as they definitely were going to Miami on business! So, got chatting to them, as you do, and the Englishman told me he was going to Miami for four 12 hour financial services conferences....my eyes glazed over....definitely not a future career for me! I asked the Irishman what he was going for, and he says he worked in the food industry....this is going to be more meaningful for my ex-colleagues reading this! So ...

... moved incredibly much. my voice sucked casue i felt my troath liks super dryed, i think cause of the curry vegetables i had for dinnner. gather show rocked as usual. i have to say that tonight i figured out howhard katie works. she was loading in and out the venue so much stuff and so heavy. i was really impressed. i guess she is the person who move the most of the stuff. after the show we ...

... We spent the next week enjoying London's wonderful night life both with its awesome restaurants and then clubs and bars and if we had enough energy the next day we made a trip to the park to enjoy the good weather.
It was then time to say goodbye to London and head to Denmark to say g'day to the place again after 8 years and surprise my Danish host mum for her birthday. Thanks everyone for a classic time in London!! Really was a fantastic month.

... shops. We enjoyed the shops and the street performer (who, deservedly, had quite a large audience). We had dinner at a pub in Leceister Square-Emily had a jacket potato (translation: baked potato) with beans and cheese on it. Very British! On our way back to the hotel, we went through Trafalgar Square once again. This time, we actually saw pigeons. Finally. We're bushed. Two weeks is a long trip. Plus, all of our luggage smells like dirty socks!! Pedometer report: 11.25 miles
