I realise we are nearing the end of this amazing adventure and have failed miserably in keeping an online journal. Whilst the first trip from Fiji to Hawaii and coast to coast across the States was ‘kind of’ recorded we have now been on several adventures around Europe and the UK with no written account.
It is probably a little late to rectify the problem; all we can do now is sum up with the use of our friend Mr Bullet-Point and soldier on.
London life is swell we are W4 people now, have settled into our new home at 9b Fairlawn Ave quite nicely.
• Most important rule: Stand on the right, keep moving on the left and don’t get it wrong
• Newspapers are a must – Don’t talk either, you just get looked at funny
• Cling Film, not Glad Wrap (you can’t convert them – I’ve tried)
• Shepherds Bush..... At least there’s always something going on. Riots are fun.
• You get used to the repetition. Mind the gap. You get used to repetition. Mind the gap.
• People who sit upstairs during the pub quiz usually cheat. Damn iPhones.
• Blue is the colour. Football is the game.
• The Queen does not take visitors on a Sunday
• Avoid games where QPR are involved. Riots are only fun when organised by Algerians.
• Spelt Thames, pronounced Tems.
• Never mess with an old dude who drinks ale (even though the beer tastes like crap). Under no circumstances do you ever touch/look/taste/under-pour their beer – learnt that one the hard way.
There is a few more, no doubt anyone who has spent time here knows these already and many others.
London is an amazing city, before we began this trip we were set that we did not want to live in London like all the other Aussies, six months later we really couldn’t imagine ourselves having lived anywhere else, except New York – but that doesn’t count! It has an amazing heart-beat, (it is a little quicker than Perth’s) the city is really a being unto itself.
Will attempt to write up more of our thoughts and travel experiences in hope someone out there is still reading...
