In London!

Hi all, This is my second day in London. The 20th June was a travel day so I don't really count that! The Airport staff at Lufthansa were great! They helped me get from place to place and even got us onto a special bus to get to the plane. It saved my foot big time! The tube was reasonably straight forward with only one change to get from Heathrow to Walthamstow. Mel came and met us from the station and took us back to her place.



Chris and Mel are great people! I have heard so much about them and of course not to forget little Bella! (Or Magic the cat!). Gina and I headed for Sainsbury's to get some supplies - impressive supermarket!


Yesterday we went out to a local cafe in Walthamstow and I had a "Coronation Chicken" - very traditional British fare apparently and very nice too! Then Gina and I met Ian to head for Gina's favourite Wood. We didn't do any walking of course but had a quiet ale at the "Owl". I really enjoyed the beer there. Guiness definately tastes better here than in NZ (I find that it has a sharp metalic aftertaste in NZ, miraculously absent from my pint at the "Owl". :-)
