We are having the most amazing time in London. In the last two days we have visited the Imperial War Museum, climbed the monument to the great fire of London, spent time in Leicester Square, watched the Swiss clock chime in Leicestr Square, walked through Piccadilly Circus, visited NZ House, Seen fabulous buskers in Covent Garden, watched the Spectacular show of the Lion King, visited Baker Street in search of Sherlock Holmes, visited Paddington Station and found Paddington Bear and been on the London Eye. Talk about packing it in!!!
Tonight we are going to watch the Olympics opening ceremony at home, where I'm sure that we will get the best view. London is just buzzing today. All the newspapers are just full of the Olympics.
It's on at 9pm London time but 8am Saturday NZ time would be even better. Hope you gt good coverage of it at home.
Love to you all,
Deb & Finn
It must be amazing the atmosphere building up to the Olympics. The photos are great. I was surprised that you not crowded out by lots of people in the photos.
ReplyDeleteYou are sure packing in the sights. Finn's journal will be amazing record. Wonder what he will think when he reads as an adult.
You both look summery -hope the temperatures are not to hot.Love you both remember to fit some down time to bloob out and relax. Mum
You are cramming it all in! I love the picture of Finn with Paddington bear :-) we have our Paddington bear about the house somewhere dressed up in his royal guard attire, a gift from Aunty Deb for Steph many moons ago.
ReplyDeleteThe games mascot (warlock) looks very unique, but I guess how to you create something that can be considered as universal rather than partial to anything. He looks like a bundle of fun :-)
The buzz about London for the Olympics must been fun to be involved in. I have the opening ceremony recorded, but haven't had the chance to view it yet, I'm sure it was spectacular.
