This time at the London Eye.
    

Sitting on the prime meridian here in Greenwich park. Just made it for the ball drop which happens every hour. Coolness.

(back home now)

Actually the ball may only drop once a day, not sure. Lucky enough either way. Apparently all the ships used to watch it from the Thames and adjust their […]

Nope.

I think they are actually serious.

Doing things my usual way by wandering around largely aimlessly. London is good for that because its very easy to stumble across major landmarks.

They’re all nice and big, too. Hey i think i just spotted Big Ben….

Landed at Stansted around 11pm local time last night. Much more palatable flight at only an hour or so!

Looking forward to a day in front of the teev.. Formula 1 from Germany and MotoGP from, well, here. Dad put some beer in the fridge for me ;-) All the kids (Ian, Rachel, […]

I can’t really understand how Berlin (Germany’s capital with 3.6 million people) can be so cheap. Let’s break this down a bit.

1) […]

The ASP book in front of the Berlin wall.

Yeah, hey that picture worked kind of well. I guess I should grab another one in front of something more recognisable but that really is one of the few remanants of the Berlin Wall.

Reckon I’ve seen everything touristy here. One thing I’d like to do […]

I hear it has central heating, too. Handy in Berlin, though unnecessary when its 27 degrees :-)

Berlin is a rather impressive and substantial city. (That photo is of the Reichstag - parliament by the way) I arrived after 2 hours or so on the train (really not bad for 200+ km), dumped my […]
