We're in London !

Well it's our third day in London and we are having a great time. Currently we are staying with Simon (Moss) because Toby's place got packed out.

Spent most of yesterday walking around London. We started the day wondering around town looking for the information centre only to find, after walking around the same block about 20 times, that it had been demolished. Not to worry there will be a better shiny new one... in 2008. We ended up at St Pauls Cathedral, then walked over the Millennium Bridge and down south bank and went up in the London Eye. The view was great but being London it started raining halfway up so our photos are a little blury. We had lunch in Westminster opposite the treasury and then went to Harrods and played with the toys. My favourite was this display of ultra realistic puppys curled up in a basket whose tummys went up and down like they were really breathing. Creepy.

We then caught up with Toby and some of his workmates in a pub in Tower Hill then went and had dinner in Brick Lane.

Brick Lane is really odd! Tons of Indian restaurants with guys outside trying to get you to come to their restaurant. They offer all sorts of discounts, free drinks etc. and talk smack about each other :) Its all a con because you land up paying about the same everywhere but still fun to do.

I, (Amelia) have become addicted to 'Daim' bars (just 35p!) and may require therapy for withdrawl if I can't find a way to import them to NZ!

Gotta dash to make the Changing of the Guard :)
