Tom's favourite place.
Stamford Bridge. Home of the Champions!! First place we visited in London.Hi everyone!!!!!
Sorry, again, we took so long to send any news - we've been a bit busy or lazy or probably both!!
Well, for those who haven't heard from us since Brazil - where by the way we had a great time and we have to thank Axe's family for having us for so long
Mercie Beaucoup !!!
- we arrived well in London, although leaving a country where it was 35C and arriving at 5C was a bit of a shock.
The first week was hard to get used to the cold, but it didn't stop us doing the whole touristic sightseeing in London.
We have been very lucky since we got here. First of all we were received by Tom's family who have been helping us a lot and we would be pretty lost if they weren't here -
Thank you so much!!

I (Axe) was lucky enough to get work on the second week as a Reservations Agent in a hotel in the heart of London. It was a bit harder for Tom, but he finally got a job in a removals company where he became a super star!! Believe it or not, Discovery Channel is doing a documentary about Aussies
So cold!!!!
Axe chilling out in Trafalgar Square, literally! working in removals companies in London and a TV crew went out with Tom and three others while they were working. We can't imagine how that could be interesting, but........keep an eye on Discovery!!
We finally found a place to live as well. It's a small studio, but located in a very nice area and only 10min in the tube to my work and 30min to Tom's work.
It seems like things are starting to fall into place and now we can think about saving to travel around Europe - the best part it's still to come!!!
Tom went see a couple of Chelsea games. The best of all Chelsea vs Liverpool apparently was really good, but cost Ed (Tom's cousin) having to run 10km to get home - at 1 AM. That's another story anyway, and I think Ed is a bit sick of hearing about it.
We wen't down south to visit Tom's grandfather and everyone was there, which was really nice. He lives on the beach, so we had the chance to go for a walk in a freezing cold wind. Beautiful place though!
Last weekend we had our first night out in London, it was Natalie's
(Tom's cousin) birthday and we all went out to celebrate. It wasn't a huge night, although I think it was for Natalie with everyone buying her cocktails, but it was really nice!
Well, we are not going to bore everyone with our stories, just have a look at the photos and make your own conclusions!!
Wait for our next travel blog, because now the fun begins!!!
