Dear Sara Foster- It is day three and I am already regretting booking hostles for pretty much our ENTIRE trip.. So, everything has been fine for the most part- i was sitting by myself on the plane, our hostle is alright (clean and not terribly located, with internet and free breakfast! ), we've been agreeing on where to go/what to see for the most part... and then yesterday, we went to the Eric Clapton concert (which was AMAZING, but the way, except that Lindsey was complaining the ENTIRE time about her allergies and how she couldn't wait for it to be [View Full Entry]

Lords in all her glory
Hello again. Time for some more pictures and words. This edition of our blog features details of our visits to London's 4 big sporting grounds. Firstly, we went to Lords to watch the 4th day of the 1st cricket test between NZ and England. I remember sitting up late one night by myself back in our flat in Dunedin during the last test match NZ played at Lords during the 2004 tour, and thinking 'Wow, what an amazing ground. I can't wait to go to London to watch some cricket. And how cool would it be if it was a NZ [View Full Entry]

Greetings I can't really be bothered writing much this time round (I can hear you all gasp a collective sigh of relief) but the photos have starting piling up so we thought we'd better post some of them and I guess I should try and give them some context. A while back we went to the Imperial War Museum. There is no shortage of museums in London and this is reputedly one of the best of them. We spent a couple of hours in there one Sunday afternoon and only saw around half of it. Everything was so interesting and of [View Full Entry]

So your maybe wondering what am I doing naked on my bike infront of Big Ben hey? Well a few weeks ago I heard about a bike ride in London that takes place for safety awarness for bike riders but didn't know when and where (or that u were naked) so just forfot about it. Then last weekend a lad fro work came in and mentioned that he was in Brighton for the weekend and seen people riding around the city nude for some bike thing. I thought that could have been it and it could have been in London last [View Full Entry]

After all the turmoil of getting to London we finally arrived at Lachlan’s place in East Action about 15mins outside London via the tube. We arrived to a house FULL of friendly people, Tanya and Ryan from NZ, Tessa and Elyse from Melb. They are all living in a tiny share house, and with the arrival of the three of us it was quite cramped. They didn't seem to mind though, I have a feeling it's quite common to have people coming and going all the time. We arrived into London airport at around 5pm Thursday 15/5/08... By 8 we were [View Full Entry]

Hey there to all... thought this would be a good way for you lot to keep a track of where i am and what crazy things are going on! so here goes my first entry... London... We arrived here after a VERY long 26hr plane flight Via Hong Kong and Helsinki... on the flight to hong kong our seats got mixed up so we were crammed into the middle seats... you can imagine how happy we were about that after being told we had a window and two isle seats, to add to that lovely news the seats we ended up [View Full Entry]

After that weekend i had resighned myself to the reality that this was not only going to be a very tiering trip but an expensive one! the house that we were stying in was a steal at £5 a night to help lach and his housemates out with the bills. but the cost of living and public transport is quite high when living that close to the city... Anyway enough of that... we had a pretty quiet monday to recover from the weekend so not much to tell there, we went out of a quiet dinner to say goodbye to haydee... [View Full Entry]

What the place is all about, young people and the classic old building with the spires..
Back into the London life now just after a month has ticket past.. Got a great place to live in which is close to the city centre, the suburb is called Acton and on the bike it is 15 minutes to the centre of town so quite good. Yeah have the bike again and having near death experiences all the time once again. Na it is good fun cruising around the streets and having a look at the place, much better than travelling on the underground I think anyway. The people that I am living with are from all over the [View Full Entry]

Well we’ve now been in London for 2 ½ weeks so I’m guessing you’re all dying to know how its all going, right? Right? Well here is the lowdown. We arrived at Kings Cross on Friday night a few weeks ago after the 2 weeks in Edinburgh. As soon as we hopped off the train I had a lady from one of my agencies on the phone with news of a job interview at the beginning of the next week. Excellent. It was for a Planning Enforcement Officer at Wandsworth Council, an Inner London Borough. Buoyed by this news we headed [View Full Entry]
