London: Part II

So after our very serendipitous meeting with our Aussie mates, we arrived safe and sound in Old London Town. We were staying with Bronwyn again (thanks Bronnie!) and decided it only right to cook her a home-cooked dinner and buy her (okay us too!) a couple of bottles of wine to bring in the evening.

We had really planned our second trip to London to be a relaxing couple of days to get over our busy driving tour, so we've pretty much been doing just that. We were thinking of taking in a show, but decided to put it off until we come back to London (probably before Christams). We're starting to get a bit touristed out!

The one thing that we really arranged to do was catch up with Jay, Hitch, Mika (one final time before they headed off home) and my friend Kimmi from Brisbane for dinner on our second night. I also had my first pint of cider, which I may or may not have loved!! Bring on the cider that doesn't taste like Strongbow, I say. And we were tipsy enough to feel like another sing-song along but unfortunately the only karaoke bar we could find cost £90 - what the?! So we decided it probably wasn't the best way to spend our pounds. Matt and I still can't stop converting the pounds back to dollars, so everything is pretty much super expensive here! Arrrgh!



Tomorrow we leave London for the second time and head off to visit the Guernsey Parkers and to help celebrate my cousin Lyndsey's 30th birthday - can't wait!
