London starting to get very busy in the lead up to the Queens Jube. We are leaving the day before (great timing) but the streets are busy and they are running out of things, like ice!
The city is really getting into the spirit of it. News outlets are analyzing the cost of the public holidays versus the economic stimulation from tourism. Rach would love to change our tix to stay for it.
Still very hot here, pushing 30. Amazing how much hotter it seems here with less open space and buildings made to keep the warmth in. The parks though are deliciously cool with lush green lawns and leafy trees.
So things we love in London: multiculturalism, food- down the road from the best duck in town, walking a lot again without a car- they are a hassle here, their public transport and for Trav LOVE their wine scene (50 year old Ch. Margaux and 60 year old Pauillac on the Enomatic sampler for 20 quid).
But we still cant get over how grubby people are in their own home (take your rubbish with you!) and the pushy people in the street are still here even with the sunshine...
