UNITED KINGDOM | Thursday, 8 June 2006 | Views [421]

Just a brief one from memory of the past 4 days since we landed at Heathroe coz everyone else is packing the van to go to Germany and I look like the slack ass I am at the moment by letting them do all the work while I sit and email and what not.

sarah picked us up from the airport and took us to hers to shower and drop off our stuff so we sat and chatted about gossip and football (AFL) with her Tor and her folks for a while then we went out for a pint and a bite to eat,  Lovely little English pub in Burmingham.  then Tor started work so Mez and I hit some locals to get a feel for the place and then headed over to where Tor works to meet Sarah for another pint or two.  Home by 11 or so coz I was soft.

Net day was Sunday and Mez and I were both wide awake by 8 so we were off for a walk the streets are tiny and there's no footpaths so that in itself is an accomplishment.  When we got back we got Kev (Sarah's dad) to give us a lift to the station.  ONece in london we did all of the touristy things Like the London Eye, Big, Ben, Parliment House, Buchingham palace and Tower bridge.  Along the way we found some awsome pubs and a nice restaurant.  So after one day in london we feel like absolute professionals on their public transport mainly the Tube

All in all one full day in England and nothing major to report except, we Love it just as much as Hong Kong.

Well Off to Germany now, I'll try and fill in the rest of our time in england soon
