Very sore feet

Today we hit the streets in search of areas that we might like to live. We walked so far about too many kilometres. Maybe 15 kilometres according to Benny. We started the journey at Liverpool St and stopped for yet another awesome coffee from Nude Espresso. After the coffee that was when the many steps started to explore London.

We have many appointments over the next few days looking at places. It is definitely interesting looking at how people live. We looked at a place today that we didn't think it would be possible that someone would live there. We were wrong. Apparently the owner lives there. It was so disgusting. We have taken this one off the list. We are looking for places that have room for people from Australia to visit. No need to book in advance availabilities are looking fine at the moment except of the Christmas period were we will have the lovely Em and Sam visiting.

A few things that we have noticed over the past few days are the following:

  • Meat is ridiculously expensive about $14 Aus a kilo for chicken breast
  • As I don't have a job I have time to smell the roses while walking and they smell amazing
  • There are not too many people who speak English that live in London and ride the tube
  • No one really wears helmets when riding a push bike
  • Flowers are really cheap
  • There are not many toilets. Rule of thumb when you see one you must go. 
  • The Fosters ad uses interesting 'Aussie' talent Fosters's Ad
