London highlights

Thanks to Theresa's mum for looking after us in London and taking us around to see the sights of London...and squirrels!

When we first got into London we were on the Moby Dick with a sore nanny for a couple of days. It was bleedin’ taters with the occasional spot of pleasure and pain.

And for those who don’t understand cockney rhyming slang, here are some highlights of what we saw:

Buckingham Palace - saw changing of the guards - were surprised when they busted out Dancing Queen and a list of other pop songs

Westminster - sat in on the House of Commons as they debated a finance bill - there were only a handful of ministers in attendance and they looked very relaxed - one had their shoes off and another had his legs stretched out on the seat.

Madame Tussuards - Theresa hung out with Leonardo Dicaprio and took a couple of calls for Barak Obama in the presidential suite while Theresa’s mum enjoyed an intimate dinner with George Cluney. James got a couple of good photos with his two favourite politicians - George Bush and John Howard…you’ll have to see Facebook for those! Theresa wanted to go into the Chamber of Horrors, so James pushed her to the front of the line and she screamed the whole way through. What a meanie!!

Went to the West End and saw the musical Wicked - very entertaining take on the “real story” of the Wizard of Oz

Caught up with Theresa’s aikido friends (James, Sarah & Steve) and James old work colleague Amanda who took us out for the best Viet in London and Italian with waterfront views of the Tower Bridge.

Checked out the crazy fashions at Camden Markets, the highlight being the futuristic designs in Cyberdog. Theresa bought a couple of scarves and some earings...but didn't get any flourescent pink fluffy leg warmers from Cyberdog...this time.
