We think we are in London - after hearing stories about the weather ( we had a beautiful sunny first day), had the tube to ourselves yesterday morning at 8.30am and we were out of the airport within 30 minutes of landing so yes we are very surprised. We did find all the people last night when we returned on the tube at 5.00pm. You have heard about sardines in a can well these two Fishers were canned, crammed and jammed! Absolutely incredible the volume of people.
Yesterday we caught the tube and the National Rail out of London to Peterborough where there was a huge motorhome show whilst we didn't manage to purchase a camper we are heading today to Upminster to view one and if this doesn't suit then we will be off to Manchester tomorrow. I am sure everyone has heard that London is expensive - oh yes!!! We had purchased our train tickets to Peterborough and bought off peak tickets which meant we had to be back on the train before 4.00pm imagine this - two kiwis with matching back packs sprinting from the Black London Cab into the train station down the platform and the doors of the train literally closing behind us. Roll on the Amazing Race for us!
We have managed to negotiate the tube and the overground rail but really haven't seen London yet and will not do so yet as our priority is finding a suitable camper. We have seen the London Eye from the hotel room and the photo is of us at Piccadilly Circus yesterday morning waiting for the bank to open. We also had a walk around Soho and are planning on going back there tonight for a meal.
We have joked about being on a monopoly board when we have seen Piccadilly, Waterloo Station, Regent St etc.
As it is now 5.50am Saturday 25th we may as well get on the tube and find a camper.
