Today was a giant pain in the arse really. It started out well enough, after we checked out we were able to leave our bags at the hotel so we could have a further wander. We ended up at the Tate Modern art museum. I use the word art liberally, but what would I know. For example there was one piece that was a largish canvas painted all Ted except for a purple stripe on the right hand side. Ridiculous that this is hanging in a museum, but once again what do I know....

Went to the zoo today and now I can't get that song "going to the zoo" out of my head. It's so catchy and simple but yet annoying and frustrating at the same time. For those of you who have no idea what I'm on about YouTube it. The zoo was ok, Melbourne's is better, and we got to ride in a the London cab to complete the London transportation hat-trick of tube, double decker bus and cab. So much room in the cabs too, I wouldn't want to be coming home in one if tho...

War memorial was good, holocaust memorial was super interesting and very very sad. We also went into tower bridge today which was good, but not as good as it should've been. I have had a fair bit to drink tonight as we met up with one of Sally's former workmates. Fun stuff. Alex No luck in the cop yet

Moving hotels sucks. That could pretty be the end of this blog, but I suppose I should enlighten you all with my day. As I said, we moved hotels today and we have an excess of luggage to haul around at the moment which makes it harder. Our bags don't fit through the turnstiles at the tube stations and there are only stairs wherever we go. Our new apartment is brilliant, we are on the south side of the Thames so there is less going on on this side, but that's ok t...
