'Ello There, Mate

Arrived in Heath row airport just little over 48 hours ago. After a long 13 hr flight, the hour's taxi ride into the heart of London to my grand-aunt Eleanor's house was an hour too long for my liking. But we finally got in and managed to settle in nicely. Her house is in an apartment block right in the centre of London just one street down from Baker St made famous by the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes.

Being so near the centre of town also meant that it's right smack in the middle of all the London attractions that we wanted to visit like the British Museum which we visited yesterday. Spent a good 4 hours walking through the many wings of the museum till our feet hurt.

Spend the day today with some other relatives that I have in London having lunch at a cafe in Regent's Park which is just a five minute walk away from where I'm staying.

Have the coming week's programme more or less lined up and confirmed already. Will be visiting the Drury Lane theatre tomorrow (the oldest functioning theatre in the world, or so I'm told), shopping and a West End musical on Tues and then off to Paris on Wednesday for a short three day trip.

All sounds like a good lot of fun. Am sitting in an Internet Cafe so I am currently unable to upload the many photos that I have. Will do all that when I get back home.

Till the next update.
