Over the past few weeks, everyone has provided us advice about how to stay healthy on our short trip to India and Malaysia. Let this photo reassure you all that are prepared!
I am not sure we have any space for clothing!
Oh well, I will be back in Adelaide soon. I look forward with anticipation and hesitation…. You can work out why.
Anyway, on our last day in London we had the pleasure of taking the stairs to the top og Big Ben, a big thank you to Mr JMcG. Unfortunately, there was a policy of strictly no photos. Given the heightened level of security I wasn’t willing to try and sneak a photo. The police and security are understandably focused.
It doesn’t matter because even if I had photos I could not upload them at this free internet terminal service operated by the BBC in Hull. I am happy to be taking advantage of the TV licence fees paid by the English. It is also quite fun to remind them, that yet again we are going to win the Ashes. I don’t even need to know anything about cricket to have fun with this one.
Hull is no longer to the number 1 crap town in Englad. The revised book – crap towns II have droppped it back to number 17. I agree in the last 5 years there has certainly been a lot of goof change. You can even drink a mocha outside now. Although today is a bit like an Adelaide winters day.
Ooh dear, the BBC is palying scary 80s music on the radio! “we’re the kids in America woah!!!” ……..
See you all soon, except of course you don’t live Adelaide then a prochain!
I am here at the Regent Street Apple Store using a Apple Powerbook G4. It is quite sexy but my hunched over look to type isn’t.
We’ve just picked up the evening newspaper and it suggests that there have been some copycat bombs. Fortunately there appears to be no serious injuries. The bombs, some of which were detonated were not very big. Anyway, just for your information Helen and I were not near the incidents. Although we did wonder why half of the Tube appeared to stop working.
We leave tomorrow. Tonight we will be seeing another musical.

We visited the apartment in here. All I can say is that I want to live there. Light filled large spaces with tall ceilings…. Hmmm Very nice mordernista.

Great food market and a good place for cheap lunch.. Would recommend shopping early though as the stalls start to shut at about 2:00pm in the afternoon.

Barcelona is a great city. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll put some photos onto the blog for you now.

Well, they could have washed it before I got on. The Eurostar is now faster on the London side amazing what 5 years and a bit of track work can do. I look forward to the next trip when it will be fast all the way into London.
I may be freezing when the wind blows, it may be summer, all can be forgiven because for our half hour on the Lodon Eye actually had some sun……… Not full sun.. only some. But it makes a lot of difference to the photos. This photo was taken about 30 minutes ago..
A tourist trap it is, but a good on at that.
Sorry no photos today. Easyinternet sucks big time. It uses Windows 98 and the USB port is completely dead. Grumble – I´ll boycott them in London so hopefully you´ll get to see some photos soon.
Barcelona has hit the top 10 of my favourite cities in the world. The old town is a walkers paradise with a myriad of tiny pedestrainised paths hiding all sorts of fascinating things. For those gunzels out there its public transport system is integrated, its prices reasonable and its metro makes it a breeze to get around.
The Spanish experience commenced on the night train, which offered a comfortable service with everything in Spanish and Spanish speaking staff only. The food on board the train was good too. We had thought we had left the French speaking world behind. But our dinner companions was an elderly artist from Paris, who had lived in Melbourne from 1947 to 1950 and wished to speak in English to us Australians because he has fond memories of Melbourne. He was travelling with his brother in law from Switzerland. It is a sad day when my French has to be relied on for translations.
We´ve seen lots of art and lots of hot sweaty bodies. Gorged ourselves on Paella and other good food. Tonight its the turn of the Tapas bar washed down with good local beer. Tomorrow we return by night train so I will be filled again with good spanish food.
I need to increase my fitness regime and go on a diet when I come back.
