Whinging Poms!
Hey Everyone!
We have been in london about 5 days now, and still having rather a jolly old time. We have, however come to the conclusion these English are a bunch of whinging Poms. We were told that the food in london was horrible: we have however found a large array of great continental bakeries, patisseries and restaurants with rather good food. We expected this to be horribly expensive: even once you convert to Aussie dollars much of it turns out to be what you might pay at home, or pretty close. A good indian curry is around £5.50, where you might pay $13 at home. We were also told that it was always rainy and miserable: but it hasn't rained once! And even Ang (who feels the cold very easily) hasn't found it cold. So all in all, the Poms are whingers and this place isnt as bad as they make it out to be. (But time may tell??)
We went for our first proper bit of sight seeing around london town yesterday, so below are some pics. On this little journey we visited London Bridge (which I confused with the tower bridge, and is most uninteresting), the tower of london, the tower bridge, the Tate Modern art gallery, St Pauls Cathedral, and Shakespear's Globe theatre. These were all amazing to see. There is still much more to explore.
We have been on the job hunt - I have a few interviews lined up for this week, so we'll see how it goes. Can't expect to get the first job, and there seems to be enough around that we wont starve before we find something. Ang has found some good options too - so we'll see what happens in the next week.
Hope everyone is doing well - sorry our emails are less frequent here until we have our own internet - it adds up a bit using internet cafes here, and our internet budget has been going towards job searching!
Hope to hear from you all soon!
Col and Ang.
