London Day 3 and 4

Days 3 and 4 in London brought more sights and plenty of laughs. Before I begin with my yarn, a toy Kangaroo attached to a lanyard was purchased prior to the trip with it being awarded to the best on ground for each night out, the winner having to don 'Roo' for the day. So far the recipients have been Leesy, Tommy and yours truly. Obviously can't disclose the information as to what the reasons were to earn the not-so-much sought after prize due to the age old rule 'what happens on tour, stays on tour'. Day 3 began at sparrow fart after a much needed night in catching up on some sleep with tours to the London Dungeon and London Aquarium. Still in awe of buildings and infrastructure over here, so checked out Big Ben and the London Eye again, can't get enough. The birthplace of Sherlock Holmes on Baker Street was next and at this stage really getting familiar with the London Tube, so easy to navigate your way around. That night we ventured out into London town for a couple of stubbies, although found it hard to nail down a good pub to settle in.  Macka and I got split up from the boys and wandered around the London streets for a while before catching the last train (London Tube shuts down at 12pm) of the night to the suburb of Clapham.  Now it was my suggestion to get off at Clapham as I had heard Luffy mention it was a hotspot for Australians so thought we might be able to catch a game of footy and a chew down on a VB or twenty. Walked into a joint that can only be described as a scene from the TV show Geordie Shore, for those who haven't seen it, don't. In any case we made good of the situation by getting amongst the locals and ended up meeting a group of Aussies which for those who have travelled abroad, would know it's pretty comforting to see being surrounded by foreigners. We all wandered back to the hotel in dribs and drabs from around 3am to 5am. After a slow and seedy start to day 4, the boys did some washing which I neglected to do and on reflection was a pretty poor choice given I've ran out of clean Reg Grundy's.  With the aid of our knowledgable tour guide Joe Luff, we ventured out to see Chelsea soccer club stadium and Greenwich. After a long walk up to the observatory in Greenwich got a few snaps of the Prime Meridian which at 0 degrees longtitude, separates the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, that year 12 geography paid off. Parched as after the hike we went to an off licence bottle-o and wet the whistle chilling out in Greenwich Park which was bloody impressive. Really enjoyed my time in London and could stay here for another few weeks, although a few of the boys would attest to London getting the better of them and looking forward to moving on to the next destination. So very liberal in their ways over here, the fact that you can buy beers on the street and drink in a park for example is so cruisey and makes it bloody attractive for tourists, especially Aussies as we love to cut piss. No red tape like in Australia and it just works, will definitely be back sometime in the future. Kicking off the next part of our trip with a Contiki tour through the Greek Islands visiting Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Ios. I am hearing you have to squat in a hole to go the dunny, so looking forward to that. Until then, peace.
