Zip! Zap! Zoom!

Emma and Nik visited London for a flying tackle. I met them at St. Pancras (at 3pm), took them to their hotel in Paddington, then we took a bus to Westminster and saw the Abby, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. We walked along the Thames and then over to Trafalgar square to see Nelson. We had coffee in the west end, walked to Piccadilly Circus then through Soho and had Lebanese for dinner (saw an amazing belly dancer!) then I sent them home. Next day, we met at Camden for breakfast at Bar Solo, Nik took off to see family and I took Emma round the Camden Markets, we met up with Richard for a cup of tea, bought stuff, saw more markets then met back up with Nik. We then went to Harrods for Lunch (15 quid a pop = OUCH!!!) and had a very successful shopping afternoon. Back to Paddington for an hour of relaxation and a very bad Tim Allen movie (DON’T watch Zoom: Academy for Superheroes – I warn you!), dinner at a small Indian restaurant, with desert at their Hotel including a whole bottle of sticky and I wound my way home. Monday, I met them at St. Pancras again for goodbyes. 48 hours without a breath, and I miss them already.
