The View











The London Eye






We had a very nice what they call "flight" on the London Eye. You board the pod along with about 12 others as it moves along the boarding platform and have a turn of about 30 minutes.

Who gets papped at the cash point!?


Dear, impossibly glamourous, Tay.

Here's a Tay on the top level of a double decker bus cruising on pass Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square.

Easter in Amsterdam

I got a wonderful Easter present from my boss(although she was unaware of it); two consecutive days off! I only found out on Saturday afternoon, but by Saturday night I was on the overnight coach to Amsterdam. I arrived at 8 in the morning and walked around for a few hours, then found a bed at this very trippy hostel in the Old Center. The city is really pretty, there's flowers, bike, and boats eveywhere. The trams are deadly; they zoom past almost silently at crazy speeds, so you definitely have to watch out for them. On the plus side, all the tram conductors had little baskets of Easter eggs for the passengers. I wandered about most of the day and took the 8am bus back to London on Monday morning. Lucky me, I got the bus that was taking back the 16 year old boys rugby team back home. Still fun though. I don't have any pictures at all because my phone was dead, but had a wonderful day and a half there anyways.
