Back to Normal life!!!!

Sightseeing is all done now and now it’s time to go back to work. So London hmm well not too sure if we really enjoyed it much!! We were staying in a Backpackers in a suburb called ew cross seemed to be a bit of a dodgy neighborhood. We had a tube station just down from the Hostel so that made it easy to get into town each day. We arrived on Saturday night by the time we got to our hostel and sorted our shit out was pretty much bed time. We were sharing a room with 2 Brazilians they seemed quite nice so that was good we felt kind of safe leaving our stuff in the room with them. Sunday was the day we planned to try and see all the sights. We got on the early tube into town and heading for Buckingham palace man there were so many tourists there!!! We couldn’t be stuffed waiting in the crowds of people for the changing of the guards so we carried on our merry little way!! Saw some cool squirrels in the local park we were to tight to buy some nuts of the local bum to feed them. The squirrels already looked fat enough!!! We walked down some street with a few shops on looking for an Electronic shop to buy a UK power adaptor. We found one shop which sold them for 9.49 pounds so that’s like 27bucks or maybe bit more. So decided that was a bit too much and carried on, further down the road we found another one. This one sold the exact some plug for 3pounds so of course we brought that just crazy to have such a massive difference.
We then walked down to the Thames River. Man that river isn’t really too much of a sight I think the Manawatu river even looked cleaner!!!

We then took a tube down river more and walked around a bit more. We returned to our hostel to find it about 5 degrees hotter in our room than it was outside and outside it must have been like 28 degrees, So we much around a little bit then decided that we would go back into town for Dinner, We found a really classy “subway” got our two subs then walked to the local park and ate. Next minute it started to piss down, So much for a romantic dinner I was doing well to!!! I mean subway how can you go wrong with that!!!!

Monday morning we had to get up early to try and get our way across town for our bank appointment. Man peak hour tubes are fun!!!! The Tube was soooo chocker block was like sardines squashed into a can!!! Anyway we made it safe and sound and still had time to spare. We got a talk from the Britbound people (britbound was the company that was setting up our bank accounts, NI (tax) numbers and also just helping us get jobs and so on) that was quite good told us a lot of interesting different things kind of made us want to stay in London as they have lots of group outings like pup crawls (not that I could handle that) musicals (not too sure if I could handle that) and then getaway weekends (could handle that) Once they had finished there talk it was time to set up the bank accounts, only to find that Piret needed a proof of address from Estonia god knows why!!Sso that was useless cos of course we didn’t have one so she was kind of stuffed if only we were told before we left eesti ohh well, so now I think Britbound is going to sign her up to a different bank. I got mine sweet so now have account all ready to go. Just need to get some money to put in it!!! After that we trained back into town and had a look at London Bridge but it was so hot we decided we couldn’t handle anymore and headed for home!!!


I am now sitting on the train to Sheffield im a bit scared about what is to come up in the following few weeks!!! We hope to go into some Job agencies today and try and get some temping work, then hopefully we can get something a bit more permanent in a month or so, We also have to try and get a flat, we are going to stay with some friends but we don’t want to out stay our welcome and also they don’t have a TV so how can I watch the Olympics!!!! But we will soon see
