London

Hello! OK so last Saturday I got a bus down to London and met up with Kate at our hotel in Paddington. After getting off the bus I just could not find the bus to connect me to Paddington and with 23kgs of luggage gave up pretty quick and just got in a black cab! We went out and explored for the afternoon then got the underground  to Piccadilly for the night to meet up with Kates cousin at a bar called Tiger Tiger which was really fun! At first we were wondering if it was safe to take the tube at night as Auckland is pretty deserted at night. Well... we emerged from the Piccadilly station and it was like walking right into the middle of a concert - it was a bit overwhelming at first but we managed to find our way to the club and out of the swarming crowds pretty quick. So we had an awesome first night out in London filled with cocktails and dancing! The next day we did all the tourist activities in London, we went on the big red bus tour and saw all the sites like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace etc. I wasnt really expecting much from London cause Id heard that it was really busy/crowded, not the best weather etc but I really loved it and can see myself living and working there for sure! There is just so much to see and do and if you get fed up of one place you just jump on the train and go to the next place. I also had dinner with my friend Logan who has been here for about 9 months now so it was great to catch up and get some tips on starting out in London... watch this space!
