Trip to London

24 February saw me on a train to London to meet up with a Rhodes friend, and old digsmate, K who was over in the UK for a brief visit before heading to the US for a conference. I hadn't seen K for many years and I was excited to see her again and catch up on news that we had missed in our email correspondence. To be honest I was pretty nervous about travelling to and through London by myself (so many people... I am not a fan of crowds, especially when I am not 100% sure where I am going) but managed and met up with K and her friend S for a day of laughs, walking around and food. Sorry I didn't stick around for too long K, but I did enjoy our time together and it was great to meet S.


And just to prove I was in London, here is a pic...


Oh, and since that visit I have been back to London on my lonesome and was more confident about the journey and getting through the crowds. However this visit to London wasn't brilliant as I got annoyed with the Brits again for not labelling their streets properly... it really does help to have street names at the corners of every road instead of not there at all or half way down the road where they are unlikely to be useful!!! Oh, and it also helps if diversions are properly marked! Little rant over now and my conclusion is that it is always better to go to London with friends... must admit that London isn't really my cup-of-tea. Am willing to go there for special occasions, but doubt I would ever live there (sorry to friends living in London, I am sure you enjoy it but it just isn't for me!).
