... of the city. unfortunately the very top was closed, but we still got a view. the cathedral itself is pretty amazing and filled with tombs and monuments, mostly of army and naval officers. we then went to brick lane, which is a really great street filled with bengali restaurants. we then hung out in a few pubs in the spitalfields/shoreditch area which was fun. thursday i went to the victoria and albert museum, which like all the museums is huge, and the natural ...

... never easy. Decided to send loads of text whilst on the Coach just as a final good by to friends and family and received some lovely messages back so thank you.. One hour before I board how mad is that, been waiting over a year for this moment and now it's finally here!! Well bye for now see you in Hong Kong........

started the intricate paintwork today... with the cheapest paintbrushes known to man!<br> It was raining on and ...

... I pictured the walks up the hill, making videos in the creepy graveyard, seeing the kids run down the drive with kites in hand. Good times and I'm thankful for them! The night Beibei and I went to our last 9:45 PM staff meeting. The others seemed genuinely thankful for the help that we had given them over the past 4 weeks and Paul H gave us each some special chocolates. The girls often come to me ...

... one things to renumber.... but checked through a few worries with Joanna when I spoke to her earlier this evening. I'm looking forward to landing in Wellington more than I am doing the Australia thing. I have confirmed that there is a nail-bar in Wellington - so that's one worry off my mind. I had been stressing that my nails won't last 3 weeks without some work being done!!!! (Oh simple pleasures!) I'm also ...

... could ever imagine on it's selves, and you definitely will have to hand over everything you currently own to buy half of them. Quick stop at Big Ben for some pictures and a view of the city. Finally we ended at the Globe Theater. We took a tour of it, and it brought back memories of last year when I went to see Othello and spent the night being a sopping wet groundling, whilst having my friends teacher yell things at the stage. As we left the globe Joshua turned to me ...

Well, managed to get to the airport with plenty of time, which is almost unheard of for me. Rather odd feeling to think that I won't be back for 3 months or so, but settled the inevitable nerves with a glass (or 2) of wine! Hugely looking forward to Delhi although the 5am start might be a bit interesting...

So after Shirls and I parted our ways, I made it to London on Monday afternoon! I met up with a friend of Stefanie's who lives here for and he showed me around some of the sites and local pubs. Aside from the dollar pound exchage rate, the city is absolutely amazing...yet another place I want to live now on my list. Tuesday, I got up and hit the hot spots...saw the changing of the guard ...

... if you can get it through a website like Priceline or Hotwire or have the means to stay there I highly recommend it. the hotel was a wonderful place to stay. I entered the lobby about 11am,check in was not until 3pm but I wanted to drop my bags off with them so that I could start looking around. Well the wonderful man at the front desk he was checking out my reservation and when he realized I had just gotten off ...
