Arrival - London, 28 April 2008

I was lucky enough to land in London on a sunny day which made getting around that little bit easier. Had to work out the tube which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I came across some really nice helpful people which was great.

My friend Sandi was really nice and took the day off work so she could meet me at her place and then show me around London. We spent the afternoon walking around London which was a great way for me to get my bearings and get used to the train and tube. We saw Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey on our first stop. I have to say Big Ben is beautiful, the detail was amazing. We saw Piccadilly Circus with its massive tv screens, Convent Garden with its street performers, and spotted the Ritz hotel. We checked out the Tower of London, which I'll definitely be heading back to to check out the Crown Jewels.

We walked along the Tower Bridge which was absolutely beautiful and checked out Buckingham Palace. It was great walking around London and awesome to catch up with Sandi. I think I'm going to enjoy living here.

..oh and i spotted my first squirrel! :)
