Hello London

Took the train into London today. Madison is not feeding, but is eating solids and water so no real need for concern. She is still not 100%, but much better which is good.

The train to London was easy to negotiate. Basically just find a seat and sit down and wait. We went in about 10am, so it wasn't that full. Did have to sit behind some annoying people having a brainstorming meeting. They were a Media/Marketing Company by the sounds of things but if their ideas were any indication, I wouldn't hire them to sell my dog.

Anyway, once at St Pancras you have to walk to Kings Cross station and take the underground a few stops to Oxford St / Regent St. The Underground really doesn't cater for buggies, so have to manhandle the buggy down escalators etc. It must be a pain to be in a wheel chair and try and get around.

Anyway, Regent St is simply amazing. The noise and crowds are awesome, especially for a Kiwi Boy! I did enjoy it though. The architecture is frankly awesome, and I spent a lot of time just looking at the buildings.

We went to HSBC to open the accounts. This was very easy, although Madison spewed her lunch on the office floor!

We went and had lunch at a typical English Diner. I of course had the English breakfast with pot of tea, for £4.75. Bargain.

After lunch we strolled along Regent St. Went into Hamleys and bought a few items, and then walked down Regent St and Window shopped. Must go back soon.

Took the tube at Piccadilly Station (keep feeling like I'm playing Monopoly) back to St Pancras and home. We had a Lager on the train on the way home, amazes me you can by Alcohol almost everywhere here. Even in the Post Shop!
