On the move again!

Back on the move again and it feels fantastic, to be going new places, meeting new people and getting up to interesting adventures again. This time I headed to London to meet up with a very close friend of mine. And sometimes in life you are lucky enough that your very good friend’s parents happen to have a massive mansion in a beautiful part of London! You can also get very lucky when said friend likes the alternative side of the city and takes you on tours that most tourists never visit. Ah so many highlights, so much to remember it’s all overwhelming. So let’s start at the beginning. A walk along the Thames looking at all the famous sights hundreds of tourists flock to London to see; Parliament, Westminster, Trafalgar Square and Big Ben (and for those of you that don’t know, Big Ben is part of parliament and is not located on a massive white building, also with a huge clock, a few hundred metres down the Thames…). After the mandatory walk along the Thames we stopped in at a bar on a boat. What a fantastic idea, if you stumble after a couple of beers, you blame it on the movement of the boat. Alcohol had nothing to do with it at all!! So if walking along the Thames has left you parched Tamesis Dock is a must visit. They even lend you their lighters, knowing full well that it is very unlikely to be returned… that’s what you get for being a pub that can’t find matches to give to tipsy patrons who need to light up!!
