It sounds like a small thing but six months of travelling has meant that we've been on guard a lot and because of the countries we've been to we've stood out along the way.
Making our way to the upmarket City of Westminster we made ourselves home at a friends apartment (thanks Luke and Sarah). We used this as our base as we found our feet and learnt to get around the city that we plan on calling home for a while.
The photo below is of us in front of the less well known clock tower Little Ben. It is across the road from Victoria Station.
We are now in temporary accommodation and the plan is to secure jobs. The jobs will pay for permanent lodgings and forays into Europe and around the UK.
Blogwise the plan is to write a post on each city or country that we visit.
We hope that you've enjoyed reading about our trip through South East Asia and India. If you plan on visiting a location we've been to you're welcome to ask us questions.
Random Fact: The park is the new beach - swim suits and general beachiness (without the water) are common place on a good day
Highlights:
- The tube. Weaned on horror stories we were expecting the worst. After India the system is amazing and people not spitting on the floor is cool as well.
- Being back where things make sense. Understanding what's going on and why is great.
- The greenness of London. The city has loads of parks and trails to explore and you can find a haven to relax in easily.
Lessons Learned:
- The weather isn't as bad as the locals make out. So far we've enjoyed plenty of beautiful sunny days and hope these continue!
- There is a big market for pre made meals here. Every supermarket has a large range of meals you can take home and heat up - watch out NZ this could be heading your way.
- Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago is still fun to play when you're an unemployed adult...
