Sunday 21 October 2012 Highlights: 20 mile bike ride around London, Canals, Sunday market at Brick Lane. Big day of bike riding today, and a very sore ass which made me remember why I wear lycra bike pants on long rides back home. I got up to overcast conditions which turned into drizzle when I…

Friday 3 July 2009 Highlights: Lords – The Home of Cricket After listening to my team Essendon lose badly on the ABC via the internet I headed off to the world famous Lord’s Cricket Ground for a tour. As there was a match on (Middlesex vs Surrey) we didn’t have access to the pavilion or…

Thursday 2 July 2009 Highlights: Buckingham Palace, Duke of York Column Today has a crazy busy day in the heat of London (I’m not joking about the heat, air conditioning doesn’t exist here!). I started the day at the British Museum, I mostly skipped the Egyptian section since I had been there recently but the…
