DAY ONE:
After a quick nap and a shower, Emily Butler, Brooke Cheesman and I headed for the town. We walked about 6 miles today - one of the girls has a pedometer :)
We saw the Tower Castle, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, St Pauls Catherdral, Notting Hill (even some cute secluded gardens) and we went the the YSA FHE in Kensington at the Hyde. We were BUSY!
I told Emily while we were walking that I wouldn't be surprised if I bumped into someone I knew as there as so many S. Africans in England, and then "waar wragties" I see StJohn Holloway (from Zim who served in Capw Town) ironically we were on exactly the same tube for like 2 minutes before they were moving on to Africa- what are the chances?
Oh and there is a shop here called Mark's and John's - its EXACTLY like Woolworths Food. If I hadn't seen the name I would have sworn it was good old Woolies.
While things are expensive here, the food is good and the sizes fair.
I got a great starter (bruscetta) for supper for £4.00 and it was delicious and sufficient.
Oh and the transportation system is wonderful. You have so much freedom even without a car! You just buy a pass and slide it into the machines when you enter and exit, and voila! It is fast, efficient and reliable.
