Our week in London

---

We've had a great few days in London - been travelling around with our tourist "must see" maps showing all the icons (Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Madame Tussaud's etc). We have been very lucky with the weather - Monday and Tuesday there was occasional rain spurts, but yesterday and today there is blue sky and sunshine - even to the point of requiring sunnies!!

Tuesday night Meggs came down to visit, and with met up with Steph and went to dinner at the LongAcre pub, Covent Garden - had a few drinks - and a great night!

We loved Madame Tussaud's - in one room, we honestly thought John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson were part of the crowd - they were so lifelike! Luke posed with Sly and couldn't help but grope Britney!

It's great to not be following a timetable so much while we are here - tonight we are going to see Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre (and then Luke wants to conclude the evening at Pizza Hut all-you-can-eat, he's such a romantic!)

Tomorrow we are off on a day-trip to see Bath, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle, and then Saturday we are meeting up with Steph again (and hopefully Jane too) to watch the Aust vs England world cup match.

Hope you are all well.
