Markets - Tate Modern - Jane - Moth Club
28 juni 2017, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Slept in again, oh so tired! Jake and I were out the door by noon and got off the bus at London Bridge. It felt a bit unsettling here due to the terrorist attack just over two weeks ago. There were flower memorials set up nearby.
As we went to cross the road we ran into three of Jake's friends who had the same plan as us. We had a delicious duck wrap and borek at the Borough Markets before making our way to Tate Modern.
We checked out some interesting exhibitions and went up to the viewing deck for fabulous London views.
I then met up with Jane Kitson for Indian in Brick Lane. It was great to see her and hear all about London life. It's sounding very enticing to try this out.
I caught the overground train to meet Jake, Ben and Chambo at the Moth Club in Hackeney to see Confidence Man play for £7.50. They put on a sparkly and energetic performance to "Repeat" and "Bubblegum". Great fun and was walking distance to Jake's house!Meer informatie

Cambridge and DANE!!
29 juni 2017, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
I caught the train from London to Cambridge to see Dane! Yay!! We got lunch at a pub on the canal which had beautiful views. Dane then showed me around the different prestigious Colleges with their fancy grounds and buildings. We saw the oldest bridge over the river Cam. This is where the town was named Cambridge.
We had a drink at the Eagle Hotel where the announcement was made that they had discovered the secret of life... DNA! We looked around more colleges before heading to Dane's College - Homerton College for a drink.
Mum, Dad and Grace then arrived for another drink at the College bar. G&T's and beers were on the menu.
We had dinner at a North African restaurant which was delicious and very authentic before heading to bed early. The others were feeling the jet lag set in!Meer informatie

Cambridge and some punting
30 juni 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Mum, Dad, Grace and I hired bikes today and rode around some beautiful parks and along the canals. We met Dane and hired a punt to experience the true Cambridge style. It wasn't too difficult to do it, just had to make sure to keep your balance and not fall in the water.
After we had a look at some of the Colleges and beautiful grounds around them. Dane told us stories of the different Balls he had attended at the colleges. Sounds very extravagant and a fun experience for him.
We returned the bikes and had dinner at a new pub by the railway before heading home. Jet lag was still hitting the others.Meer informatie

Cambridge for Dane's graduation!!
1 juli 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We had breakfast in the apartment before heading to Dane's day of graduation celebrations. It started with champagne while they announced the prizes for the year. Dane won a prize and received £200 for getting the highest grade at his college in Law. We then had high tea in the drawing room. We ate yummy sandwhiches and cakes. After we headed out to the garden party for Pimms, Gin cocktails, Strawberries and Cream, Ice cream and Alcoholic Popsicle.
We headed into town for the ceremony which included a procession down the Main Street and into the Senate House. The graduation ceremony had certain traditions, including it all spoken in Latin and some strange finger holding. Dane received his certificate and we were all very proud of him!
We had some celebration drinks while sitting along the river, at the pub and then dinner. The kids then went to a house party for a friend of Dane's before heading home.Meer informatie

Sunday Roast and an English style BBQ
2 juli 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
We packed up, left our AirBnB and drove from Cambridge to the nearby town of Grantchester.
Dane rode his bike there and the six of us ate a delicious Sunday pub lunch. I had the pork roast with Yorkshire pudding. We checked out a nearby orchard where the Brits were lazing around under apple trees, enjoying tea and scones with jam and cream. We said our goodbyes to Dane and drove in to London.
Mum and Dad dropped Grace and I off at Jake's house in Bethnal Green. We then walked around checking some of the nearby parks before heading to the Nettle Roof top bar for drinks. It was nice and warm today about 23 degrees.
We had a traditional English BBQ in the park using a one use BBQ with coals. It was fun to try out and the park had a special section for BBQing. A few of Jake's housemates joined us for some Aperol Spritz and we stayed out till the sun went down. Felt typically British!!Meer informatie

The queue and Wimbledon!
3 juli 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
It was a 5am wake up today and we were off to catch the first tube to Wimbledon. There was a crowd of people on the first train and when we joined the queue at 6:45am we were given our ticket number, 5864! We spent 5.5hours in a traditional English queue, where we napped, went shopping and waited and waited. Grace and I finally made it through with tickets about midday! What a relief!! We headed to court 16 to watch an Aussie playing great tennis in a four setter. We then found some Pimms and strawberries and cream. How very English! We looked at the pretty floral displays, the smaller hit up courts and the TV Hill viewing area. Most people attending were very dressed up. We stayed until around 8pm before catching the tube to meet Jake in Shoreditch. Mary Roubos popped in to say hello and we ate a big meal of slow cooked meats at a place called Blues Kitchen which is very trendy. We couldn't get a table until 9:30pm on a Monday night!Meer informatie

Magical day at Harry Potter
4 juli 2017, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
I had bircher muesli for breakfast at a vegetarian cafe across the road from Jake's. Grace and I then made our way to the Harry Potter Studio Tour!! It was just so incredible and had all the sets and props from the films. We saw the Great Hall, Hogwarts Express Train, Night Rider Bus, Dumbledore's office, the castle model used in the film and we drank butter beer. We were shown the costumes and tricks used to create the magic. I even flew around on a broomstick and lashed out and bought the video of it.
After we caught the tube to meet Jake near Oxford Street and had a drink at an English pub on the street. We met Jake's friends Bass and Maddy for dinner in Chinatown. They had been in London for one month and were settling in and trying to find jobs. We caught the bus home and went to bed, after I downloaded my video of me flying around Hogwarts!Meer informatie

Visiting Vera in Germany
5 juli 2017, Duitsland ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Grace and I got up and went for a walk to Victoria Park and had breakfast at the Pavilion. I caught the bus to Stansted Airport and flew to Munich. Vera met me and we drove to Muldorf where she now lives. Marcel and Manuel were there to greet us! Manuel is very cute. He has bright blue eyes and white blonde hair. We had homemade pizza for dinner and Radler's to drink. It was lovely and warm, so we sat outside gazing at the stars.Meer informatie

Day out with Vera and Manuel
6 juli 2017, Duitsland ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Vera, Manuel and I ate a delicious big breakfast before setting out on an adventure. We drove to the nearby Chimsea and the mountains nearby. We went for a walk with wonderful mountain views and afterwards stopped for lunch. We ate German sausages and apple strudel for dessert whilst looking at the view over a big lake. We drank beer and Manuel enjoyed doing a 'Prost' with us. We drove to a beach bar at the lake and went for a swim as it was a very hot, 32 degrees. We enjoyed a beer on the beach before driving back to Muldorf. Ingrid joined us for a BBQ dinner of beef and pork with vegetables. We sat outside again and ate watermelon before going to bed! Was a lovely warm night again.Meer informatie

Last day in Germany and Bordeaux, France
7 juli 2017, Frankrijk ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Vera, Manuel and I ate a lovely breakfast before heading in to town to buy chocolate and pretzels. We had a lovely walk around and tried out the play equipment at a park. Rainer and Ingrid then picked me up and we drove to Munich airport. Mira, her boyfriend and Felix met us for a drink in the beer garden. My flight was delayed a bit so we had more time to hang out. I flew to Bordeaux, met the family and we drove into town for dinner. We had a delicious three course meal before looking around at the sights. We stayed at an Ibis budget airport hotel and I shared a very small room with mum and dad!Meer informatie
