Kiwis Hit The Town

Glen Hammond and Regan Tate came to London this week for a few days before their contiki started in France. I took a few days off work to play tour guide and hit the town with them. We stayed in a hotel in Hammersmith - well I snuck in. Hammersmith, I found, is quite a fun little town, with great tube connections and a pretty good atmosphere!


Monday night we took a flight on the London Eye, seeing all the lights as far as we could see, with me trying to point out landmarks where I could! Tuesday was an action-packed day seeing pretty much all the sights and visiting the Tower of London - a massive castle in the middle of the city. We also took a boat ride up the Thames, which I've done before, but still get excited about!! Hopefully I was a good guide! :o)


That night was a big one up in Marylebone, Baker Street, where we found ourselves a couple of good pubs and met up with another friend from home, Ben Hollows. Brilliant night, though I ended up with bruises from a wooden spoon table number and nearly took us the wrong way going home... Wednesday Glen and I played with squirrels in Hyde Park.

Was great catching up with them all!! It has also made me realise how much I miss living in London, so I'm pretty certain I'll leave my job here when Russ finishes his course to move back and do some travelling!! London's the best city in the world!!
