Back to Ye Old London

rain 9 °C

So where did we leave you off......

Yesterday we had to go and drop our car back off in Manchester where we decided to do a bit of shopping. Not such a good idea as every man and his dog was out shopping!! Mikey went off to buy some more records while I was left to explore the shops. It was that packed that I was too scared to leave the shopping mall and there is only so much you can do in one shopping mall for 2 and half hours!!! But all is good and we got some great pressies.

Last night we settled down to a game of cards with the rellies and had a merry old time. We all got pretty hammered but it was all in the name of fun.

Today we made our way back down to London. The train journey was very uneventful but the price of the tickets was a lot more than we expected - around $130 each for a single ticket.

We are now sitting in an internet cafe in Leicester Square with Kylie. It is great catching up with her and she says to say hello to everyone out there in cyber land!

We are off to Covent Garden to have something to eat and then investigate the british interpretation of an Australian bar! Then some serious drinking is in order.

Tomorrow night we are off to a very groovy bar called The View Lounge for New Years - check it out if you can. We will be there to watch all the fireworks and the good stuff going on in London - we even get a free breakfast with the tickets (which cost around $120 each - but well worth it)

Tomorrow we are also going exploring, try and buy some theatre tickets for next week and then more shopping - its a hard life!!

We will see you all in one week's time and looking forward to it. So until then we will love you and leave you and try and hop on one more time before we head home. Have a great new years everyone and see you soon.

Luv Karen & Mikey (and Kylie)

Good to hear you are having a great time. It was so much fun following you all over the world and virtual shopping with you. :) We are off to Broadbeach to get in some drinking and carousing of our own. I am signed in on Jean's account I think as it's too hot in the shed to be on my computer and Jean is taking her "afternoon nap before the big NYE party". Yep now its not long before you come back to the Real world ;P It's good to hear you are having such a great time. Love Dad

happy new year to you both. We saw the fireworks display London put on at the wheel. Pretty loud and very sparkly. We went to Bruce and Sandra's for new year and had a good time.
All up a good weekend.
