Day 5 - London to Cambridge

Hey wow new author, me the apparent star of this show if you were to just look at the the photos. "My feet hurt" Karen is having the night off. You see here where she is having tea at Liz's place, if look look closely you will see the Palace logo on the paper cups she is holding.
Well to be honest this is from yesterday but I had to change the bias of the photos so far submitted.

So while waiting to pick up the car this morning we wondered into the British Library, the place that houses the original Magna Carta as well as other interesting things like the original "Alice in Wonderland" done in hand writing and sketches in the margin. All very fascinating stuff.

Hit the road off to Cambridge, wow these guys drive fast, and the motoway side service areas are something to see to believe... Huge!!

Arrive Cambridge, checked into our nice hotel then wondered the streets of the town avoiding wild cyclists... near killed I was.
The picture on the left is of the front of King's College, what an amazing chapel they have there.

During our wonderings we came across on on the the strangest buskers I have ever seen, a guy in a bin playing the guitar and singing. Just had to get the picture.

Days 2 - 4: London

One 'benefit' of jet lag is being up early to catch the morning news on the BBC. They spent the entire morning bulletin the other day highlighting the dangers of charging cows, and whether or not you should let your dog off its leash if you were confronted by a charging cow.... surely there must be something else going on in the world??? However we do keep getting places early enough to beat the crowds, which are just ridiculous. I'm not sure anyone actually lives in London because the place is full of tourists.


We've been busy seeing old stuff (Tower of London and Tower bridge), Greenwich (to see the longitude clocks by John Harrison), St Pauls's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace (Liz still not free to see us so we had to pay for our own morning tea), and Natural History Museum. Holidaying is hard work. My feet hurt!

Day 1 - London

Jetlag meant we were up with the larks.... and wandering down Tottenham Court Rd at 7am!













Unsurprisingly the prime minister was not taking our call at this early hour, and neither was Liz. So instead we went to the British Museum.

Yay for frequent flyer points

Bob likes business class - note the Qantas pyjamas

Finally, on our way

Got stuck in Melbourne for a couple hours.....
