Lukey and Louisey's Round-The-World Adventure

Arriving in the Motherland...

is a lot different to what I expected. We are in Leeds at the moment with Luke's brother and fiancee experiencing some English country life. We spent two frantic days in London after a well-received rest in Holland. We did your usual touristy things in London: London Eye, River Thames, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St James's Park, The National Portrait Gallery, The Natural History Museum, Portobello Road Markets and of course Oxford St shopping! We also met up with an old college friend of mine for some drinks on St Patrick's Day. I for one though it was going to go off, but the bars and pubs in London close up at 11pm. Weird! And so far everything has run smoothly, no mishaps or overspending (well not too much) and it's been quite enjoyable! It's fab that everyone speaks English (funnily enough) again too!

So the next two weeks will be very low key compared to the rest of our travels. We might head up to York and Newcastle for some day trips and meet up with some friends, but mostly we will be enjoying the Commonwealth Games! (I tell you what; I never knew the English hated Australians so much when it comes to competitive sport... like just get over the fact that we are better than you. I love how they only show when Brits win and downplay the fact that we have won like 7523 medals already!)
