Pickup in London!

---

Back from Oslo to pick up Vivi at Heathrow. After a 2 hour flight delay and then a 2 hour delay after landing, she finally came through. Given the cold and rainy weather we decided to stay in for the day. That evening though... yepp, you guessed it. Curry! It was lovely.

The next day the sun was shining so we had a nice stroll around west London. I told Vivi we were going for breakfast to keep her motivated. After we finally settled on a place for a greasy fry up, we weren't able to walk any more, so we did the tourist bus tour! It was a first time for me after living three and half years in London and I would recommend it as gives a great overview. We even stopped off for an hour or so at Speakers' Corner to watch the nutters rant. Included with the bus tour was a Thames river tour from Westminster all the way to Greenwich with a desert dry humoured guide.

We did manage a wet march around Richmond with a few choice pub stops one day. We also planned a visit to Madame Tussauds another day, but ended up visiting a couple old haunts in Notting Hill instead. One of which was the Churchhill Arms; a cozy pub that serves excellent Thai curry for only 6 quid a plate.

Otherwise we didn't do too much other than hang out with Cathy and Jeremy, who were fantastic hosts as always and were more fun than trudging around outside. Especially with endless Takeshi's Castle on supply!!

We were hoping for better weather in Germany.
