We went up to London today. There were crowds in the tourist spots but you can see the number of people on the platform we were waiting on. Unless it is peak time there are not a lot of people traveling and it is quite pleasant. However at peak hour it is unbearable.. Packed like sardines, body odour and noise. I now remember why I came back to live in NZ. There is no sign in London of the riots. The judges are handing out heavy sentences which everyone is pleased about. Everywhere there is work being done to get ready for the Olympics. This is the main focus just now. We are finding things cheap this time round. The exchange rate has made things so much better for us even if the farmers in NZ are not pleased.
This pic looks so reminiscent of Forrest Gump waiting at a bus stop and reciting about life being a box of chocolates. Could be a good stand in for the actor as well. But, where have all the people gone?
ReplyDeleteHave a super time.

Am very impressed with your blog, well done. Can't believe how few people there are. Not like the London we remember.
ReplyDeleteElla and I heading to Auckland tomorrow - not nearly as exciting as your travels.
Judges always hand out heavy sentences
