EARLY START IN THE OLD DART


Trouble sleeping this morning so I make an early start with a hike along the Thames path towards Canary Wharf. Perfect weather and not missing the humidity we left behind in Hong Kong. MB does it again and secures a spectacular apartment right on the Thames with a fantastic view of the Tower Bridge.

On arrival yesterday, after a hot shower an a quick nap, we walked up to Hays galleria and scoffed some fresh oysters and a bottle of NZ Rose - an almost perfect start to the holiday. A couple of pleasant pints later at the Angel pub next door (where Captain Cook used to drink before sailing out and conquering Oz) and a roast lamb dinner back at the Riverside pad round out a great day.

Yep - wish you were here as well VT. No worries we'll be able to live it up in Capetown 2009!
