Doing London the proper way - with company!!

It's not often that when you go overseas, you have friends randomly come over too. This is my experience in Chicago (and rightly so, it's frikkin' far from SA) but not so in London. Dhiveja, a friend from Joburg, came over to London for some very important business (namely interviewing Leonardo Di Caprio and Ellen Page and Christopher Nolan and the like for Top Billing) and being the only unemployed plebb out there, I got to spend a full 3 days with her! I thought we managed to balance, soccer, socialising and touristing pretty well. Here are some of the sights that we visited. 


Buckingham Palace - wave to Lizzy!

Changing of the guards - this is supposed to happen at 11h30 sharp but actually they started marching and trumpeting at least 15 minutes before that. Fortunately Dhiveja and I were there - ready! and waiting!

I believe the correct term for these are ugly ducklings? no just joking - I know they're signets! They're just having an afternoon paddle in St James' Garden paddling pool. 


Dhivej and the Abbey.. Westminster that is!



Complicated London view from St Pauls. Boy that is a lot of steps - 590 up and 590 down!
