Ye in Olde London Town
14.12.2006 - 15.12.2006
12 °C
Hi all Mikey writing this one,
Well we are finally in UK... bit sad to see the end to the Vegas part of our trip, as you can all imagine I was having a blast.
On the way through the airport i finally found some WPT (World Poker Tour) gear. I spent the whole week looking for somewhere that sold the authetic stuff and found it fifty metres from the gate.
The trip over wasn't too bad for me (Thank God british customs are a little easier than US) but Kaz is having a bit of a poor time, she ate something i don't think agreed with her and had gastro on the plane, she's asleep in the room already, but has been promising me all day that she'll be right tommorrow.
We're staying in a dinky little hotel just outside the city centre and everything is kinda close, the management to the hotel are french (yay .... not) but i don't think we'll be spend much time there over the next few days anyways.
I can't get over how old everything is.... We rode the London Underground here and first thing i noticed is that there is a really musty smell to the air, kinda made me think of old tombs would love to exploring down there but Kaz won't let me i'm sure.
It's about the same temprature as Las Vegas about 12C so not too bad yet. Glad to be back somewhere where they drive on the left hand side of the road again (never freaked out so bad as USA drivers turning left wide through intersections, was worse than going on the tower of terror in the dark in the rain)
Our plan of attack is to go get our London passes (kinda like an all access pass to all touristy stuff) and hit Liecester Square and go to Tower of london and that kinda thing.
Well gotta go put more british pounds on my cash passport,
Keep those messages coming,
Love to you all,
Mikey & Kaz

hya, yeah it kinda puts your life in perspective when you walk into a building that's hundreds of years older than your mother!
I could take it elsewhere but seeing he (cough) put a new one in two weeks ago, he can do it again...I'm not paying for someone else to do it now. I'm sure it's ok with you...lemme know if it's not though. I'll give Sam a ring later today to get the keys off her and pick it up Sunday arvo unless I hear otherwise from you.
btw...may have to borrow your car for a week... mine died again..same thing, the petrol pump but paul is over in NZ for a week
Weather is wet and humid here right now, had a few days of storms. Nice to get the rain though seeing as the rest of Oz in up in flames.
Finally finished my Chrissy shopping, Bah humbug! lol I think I've done well this year but I'll have to see my credit card statement before I know how well I actually have done.
It's going to be a nice quiet one here xmas day...first in ... I can't remember when. LOL I was just thinking this may be the first year when Mike doesn't wake the house up and 6 a.m jumping on everyone shouting "It's Chrithmas" yes that's how he says it!!! 26 and he still does it! Good luck Karen!! RFLMAO
Anyways glad you got to England safely and hurry up sending some pics will ya?
hugs
me
