Back in London..

Tag: LostGrantus Maximus @ 4:22 am

We got back from Amsterdam Monday night after only just making our flight.. which fortunately seemed to be running a bit late. Andrews girlfriend Anna wasn’t as fortunate and missed her 1:30 flight and had to wait for another one at 4:00pm.

Yesterday (Tuesday) we just chilled at home and were suppose to be planning the next few days… but not much planning happened!

We were going to hire a car and drive up through Scotland and stay a couple of night.. but decided against it consider it was basically a days drive there, and another back… We’d like to spend more time – but want to be in London for the easter long weekend with everyone else.

Got back in to the planning today and we’ve booked a tour for thursday to Stone Henge and to see Windsor Castle and Bath which should be pretty good! Tomorrow we’re thinking of catching a train down south to see Briton Beach which I believe is also near where one of our mates Ben lives.. but we’ll be seeing hime again for easter when he comes up to London…

Today we tried to see a bit more of London after my brothers crash tour, before we went to Amsterdam. We saw Hyde park well half of it… it’s massive! Saw heaps of strange birds/ducks, a lot of tame squirrels… a Ferrari, a Lamborghini and a couple of Austin Martins.. the later few were my favour beasts.. Hehe. Also saw Princess Diana’s memorial fountain which was a pretty cool design a pretty big!

Before going to Hyde park we also went to South Bank and walked around near the London Eye… we saw it from north bank the other day but it was better up close! We also had a better view of Big Ben from that side of the river!

Ohh and I almost forgot we came across a Salvador Dali exhibit today to.. Cost us 11 pound and wasn’t too bad, but I saw pretty disappointed considering the lack of oil paintings they had on display which is why he’s one of my favourite artists… They had a lot of sketches and water colours and sculptures instead.. The sculptures were definitely the highlight as I didn’t realised he’d done so many!

I’ll have to tell you all the other stories from Amsterdam soon!
