Liz and Rob are two Kiwis travelling around the world, doing their thing, getting into mischief the world over. They were in Australia but have since moved on (Australians smell funny, see).
They are currently in Europe (where the people smell a different kind of funny).
Because we actually know people in London (and not too many in Cambridge), it seemed like the better idea to head down to London for the Christmas holidays. And we had a *wonderful* time. Tripping Around During the week, we did touristy things and caught up with a bunch of people, namely Graham G. and Andrew M., Wendy and Abbey and finally Jess C at a Japanese noodle place I’d been dying to try. We tripped around London a bit [...]

First up was the The Soho Arts Theatre Club where they served cocktails in teapots! Great fun! Next, we tubed up to Bar Kick in Shoreditch. First up was shots, but then we played foosball with drinks in hand. Brilliant! Lastly, we wandered over to Brick Lane to check out [...]
So, I wanted to see inside a palace. Any palace would do. But once I found out how far Hampton Court palace and Windsor Palace were, we decided one in the city would be better. So Kensington Palace was it. The outside is the main attraction of the palace. It was wonderful ornamental gates and beautfuil gardens. They must have a full time gardening team to maintain all the hedges, flower beds and trimmed lawns. Was quite a sight to [...]
