St James Park - and just a general wander around London

Spent the day wondering around Westminister and St James Park - a lovely area for the centre of London. Visited the Cabinet War Rooms (including the Churchill Museum). Quite interesting. It is interesting to think about and reflect on how the fortunates and impact Churchill had on both...

The FA Cup experience

Brett and Therese took me to an FA Cup premiership game (Charlton vs Portsmouth) - Charlton won 2:1. Lots of noise and I almost got lynched when I clapped for the away team scoring a goal!!! It says a lot about the community that they actually have a law the stops away supporters from...

Fifteen and the IWM and Curry - and nice day

Another early start - but with good reason - breakfast at Restaurant Fifteen - Jamie Oliver’s Trattiora. Amazing food - fresh and well prepared. The fresh squeezed juices in ice cold oddly shaped cups was a nice treat. Tried Black Pudding for the first time - not bad actually. After...

To Market to Market - while London Bridge is still standing

Up bright and early for a visit to Borough Markets - there is some amazing fresh food and produce at this market. Easy to see why Chefs like Jamie Oliver like to shop here. I could imagine myself doing a lot of damage to the bankcard at this markets if I lived in London. And Brett was pretty...

Stonehenge and Bath - a cultural experience

Therese organised for us to take a day trip to Stonehenge & Bath today - a rather long journey on a full bus (4 hours), especially after we were the last ones to be pick up and we got stuck in the non-adjustable and crappy seats at the back! Stonehenge was interesting - especially given it...

A day at the Meridian

Spend most of the day with Brett visiting Greenwich - primarily to see the Observatory / Meridian Line, but on our wonders we also stopped at the Old Naval Academy. The Naval Academy is very impressive, with large common areas and fantastic dining halls - I’m sure this is the open scene for the...

Arriving in London

Arrived at Heathrow Airport in the early morning hours. Heathrow is quite an old, bland building - but love the ‘travelator’ which is very springy - almost feel like you are bouncing / floating down the hall. After my first interesting experience with the rude and arrogant British...

Meet Up With Ryu

Ryu was a new resident in the UK. So since he had an apartment there, we decided to make his home (his flat) the base of operations.

Pre-trip background

There I was, one sunny Sunday afternoon, minding my own business - a little more snuffly that usual, perhaps, but nothing particularly untoward. Little did I realise that I was about to undertake a horric journey, full of new experiences and great perils, in which I would need several of my nine...
