WEEK 2 - LONDON



Well we made it in one piece.... despite a bomb scare at Heathrow whilst we were still in the plane!

WEEK 2 has been filled with live soccer during daylight hours (not 2am on a sunday morning!) drinking while watching the football, sight seeing various museums and galleries, travelling up to 16 times a day on the infamous tube which is the best thing since Peter Daicos, catching up with people and visiting every free activity there is in London. It has been great and has definetly changed our views on this wonderful city. Perhaps we could live here happily after all!

Troy and Jean have been fantastic hosts and have made us feel like we belong here..... with special mention to the homeless guy who sleeps outside the window and keeps us awake with his continual coughing...... what a place!

Catching up with young Country this weekend aka Brett Elliot, who according to him is going to show us how to drink pints until you pass out..... should be fun.

THE MOMENT OF THE WEEK -

This prestigious award was almost going to go to the homeless guy who has entertained us, but the award this week goes to our first day here where we watched Liverpool win on a cold Sunday afternoon sitting in a typical London pub drinking pints. It doesn't get much sweeter!!

MOMENTS -
  • Troy's night tour along the River Thames
  • Tulips and Daffodills in full bloom in St. James Park
  • Viewing Van Gough, Michaelangelo and co. at the National Gallery
  • Walking through the Harrods food court (biggest & most expensive ice creams ever!)
  • Singing Land Downunder at the pub with the worlds worst cover band
  • Walking up to Highbury and viewing the old and the new stadiums followed by a pint at the local Arsenal pub in our beloved tracky dackies
  • Buying an official Australian World Cup shirt
  • 2 for 1 cocktails

TOOL OF THE WEEK -

"241 cocktails!!!!! I didn't know there was that many cocktails in the world!" Dazza after looking at a sign that read 241 cocktail every Thursday night!
