Life In London

Having been in London for about a month now, we really haven't been up to a great deal in the tourist side of things, too busy trying to find a home and a job. Now, that I have both of them out of the way, we hope to post updates more regularly.  We'll see how we go.

We arrived in London at Heathrow on the 12th August from Ireland.  Didn't even have to go through customs which was a tad strange, but no hassles, so we were illegal immigrants for a short time.  Now was the time to start our couch hopping stays before finding our new pad in East London in an area known as Bethnal Green.

We have seen London Bridge and Brick Lane as well as a few other random places along the way.  Been caught in a rain storm, to be honest, I haven't really seen what everyone complains about - I say "bring-on winter"! Seen and tasted a lot of beers and a few cocktails in between. Tasted some horrible food and also had some very good food. All the joys of a new country.

David went on a camping trip to Dover and saw the white cliffs and a castle, we hope that we can go back again together so I can enjoy the scenery just as much as he did.
