Europe 2011- End of Journey

Friday, May 27th, 2011

So the journey comes to an end and my last week in London has been great catching up with family and friends.

As you can see, there was no daily blog or daily posting, taking a rest from writing, and really not wanting to bore you with family visits.

But the week has been entertaining, spending time seeing some sights that I had never seen when I lived here and with my friends from Australia – Greenwich, Westminster Abbey, London Eye and getting some shopping in on Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus. Also, a visit to London wouldn’t be complete without seeing a show or two in London’s West End (“In a Forest Dark and Deep” starring Matthew Fox, and “The Wizard of Oz” Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Production starring Michael Crawford.

My friend from San Francisco, now lives in London, just told me he is getting married in 3 weeks. It was a good opportunity to celebrate with him and his partner.

And now, I am home. 31 days later, from an amazing journey. Happy to have my bed, my shower, and my house. Now I just have to wait for Stephen to come home.

The end !

London and Mobile Phones

Monday, November 30th, 2009

If you ar travelling to London and taking your mobile phone, get an Pay As You Go SIM card. On England’s O2 network you can pick up a £15 credit which usually gives you free citywide wifi access and text messaging. Also, you call O2 and add on a £5 suppliment you can get cheap international calls (very cheap). You can get the SIM card sent to you before you go, by ordering online at O2 website or one of many of the O2 stores.

There are other Pay As You Go providers but this is the only one that I used an worked out excellently.

If you happen to have an unlocked iPhone, this is the way to go. O2 data plan is included.
