Reading Comfort Inn

... the infamous round table with all the knights names and apparently a pic of King Henry?? I need to check that one and update this entry.

Pete made it without an issue and it was a lovely day for driving as well. I looked around the shops and had lunch in the Cathedral shop and of course took some pictures and read about some of the history or Wincester!

... at the Penhaligons Covent Garden Christmas Party, we had to pay a visit to the local pub to drop off a sponsorship form for their notice board.

As we arrived to the sound of booming eighties anthems, the DJ announced our arrival "the boys who are going to Cambodia". At which point the landlord appeared like the shopkeeper from Mr Benn with a pint glass stuffed full of bank notes. "Proceeds from the fish ...

... end of the tour (anonymously). All the pieces of paper get collected by the Tour Manager and he read them out. It was pretty funny, for example, one of the secrets was that one of the guys was so randy in Pisa, he decided to go to the toilets and relieve himself instead of actually seeing the leaning tower. Not quite what I was expecting!

We made it back to London around 7pm, said our goodbyes ...

... home without a sarong. It serves as so many things that I would class it as probably the most essential item in my backpack! Otherwise things are all relative to the purpose of your trip, if you're heading for the top of Aconcagua, a bikini isn't on the essentials list! Did I fall ill much? What was the worst experience / country? I must say I had a rather healthy time over here. I only got diarrhoea when I ate tinned tuna for some reason and I ...

... so headed to the familiar sanctuary of Macca's. Typical tourists?? Fraid so!! Shane had planned out a route that took us to heaps of sights and past the Thames. So we headed past Parliament House and wandered into a crowd of protesters that certainly were not on the tourist maps! I'm still not sure what they were protesting but they were quite enthusiastic about it. Lots of stuff like "bollocks to Blair" and "get rid of Poverty" etc etc. Some woman ...

... lunch of fish-n-chips at a downtown pub, we met Jason and Caryn and toured St Paul's Cathedral and The Tate Museum of Modern Art. Some (Caryn and Karla) enjoyed this very much and wanted to see more, but time wouldn't allow. Karla, Dan & Susan finished the bus tour late in the day and capped it off at the Queen's house -- Buckingham Palace. (we didn't want to be a ...

After a week for me with my brother in St. Neots, seeing some old pals, bumming around and playing x-box and Kate slaving away painting and decorating down in London. I trained it down to London, and Kate and me got a lift with Luke the night before the wedding to somewhere near Reading. We spent two nights there, and although it was very ...

... Road, Richmond, was a short walk from Richmond Hill overlooking the Thames. The road was lined with large four storey homes with central entrance ways and semi circular drives. The four levels of these homes did, however, include the rooms in the attic and those in the basement. They looked very pricey. The block of 48 flats in which we were staying was arranged in a square of three levels around a well maintained garden. The original home on this corner block was demolished in the ...
