3 Days in London


Whilst I lined up at customs with the other 450 people from the Asiana Airlines flight, Elo waltzed through the EU Passport holders gate with the other 6 people lucky enough to hold one. So the 45 mins gave me enough time to think that i should hurry up and put ring on her finger. Even if I do love her like crazy, one of those passports would be great!
I have to quickly thank Tim and Lucy for having us, it was great to see both again, even if you did ditch us for a ski trip in the Alps. Boooo
And Andrew, many thanks, I'll never forget the car trip to Stanstead. By the way, how many tickets did you get?

Tower Bridge at night. We'd been walking all day, and on the map it apparantly didn't look too far to walk back to Buckingham Palace from the Tower Bridge??? So off we went!!!! I think we were two cranky travellers after about 2 hours. Tube next time Elo, the TUBE!!!

PS. These are Elo's photos.

3 Days in Seoul

So after a planned but what felt like a rushed exit from Australia, Elo and I headed to South Korea. We had to stop in Seoul for at least one night, so we decided to make it three and see the city a little. It is an eye opener, leaving from Canberra and getting to a place like Seoul. The volume of people, number of shops and enormity of the City. So we were relieved to eventually find our hotel was located fairly close to the center of town.One of many Palaces around the City.
A small Memorial in the centre of Seoul.

A very typical side street in our part of town.





One of the many markets that are scattered around the city.


My favourite shop. If you needed to build it, cut it, grind it, sand it, saw it, nail it, buff it, screw it or fix it, this guy had it in 3m². Or if you needed something for fathers day?
