The Weekend in London
Aside from getting hosed out of a flight on the new Air Canada Boeing 777 with the seatback screens, the flight was about an hour late leaving the airport. No big deal, a little annoying and we only arrived about 20 minutes beyond the scheduled landing at Heathrow.
Our very first experience with people in London (aside from the customs agent) was a Polish girl that got on the Piccadilly tube line, sat in front of us and talked on the phone the whole time to her boyfriend in Polish, reassuring him that she loved him. Of course she kept reminding him that he was useless and should get a job. We tried not to break out laughing whenever she swore at him.
The walk across town was nice especially since the weather was great and the crowds weren't there. Starting at the London Eye, we made our way east along the south bank of the Thames, up over the millenium bridge toward St. Paul's, through the financial district by the gherkin and down the tower bridge.
We're flying to Spain first thing in the morning, and I do mean first thing (7:10 am from Stansted) so I'm cutting this short right now to revise later.
Some Polish building in Balham close to where Chuck lives.
Anyway, here are some photos and the 2007 Current photo link has some photos in it now.
Cool citroen
Drinkin' in the park
Oh, and we had some reaaly good muffins that Chuck´s roommate made.
