* "Parkinson". He interviewed Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, some UK actress/director and some Irish Comedian;

* Got jobs and £.... whoo hooo. Rob is working for a marketing company whilst Lou is working for a TV channel;

* Moved into a place with an English couple - Flic and Alex;

* Lou, Pen & Nikki have restarted the "Brisbane KPMG running club" - it's now called "The London Running Club" (very original names) and they have admitted a new member - Yeah Anna! Nothing like running past Big Ben twice a week; and

* Started doing our groceries on line and having them delivered - it's so much fun!

Here are some photo's of a whole heap of stuff:




We had commotion outside our place a few weeks back and they shut off the whole street - the pub next door to us had a gas / chemical leak. Eight fire trucks at one time - pretty cool - check it out! (This file is pretty big so download at your own risk.....(Cheryl this disclaimer is for you)!!!!)

Lübeck & Hamburg, Germany

Friday 17th March saw us jet set to Europe for our first weekend away. For 5p each (+ taxes) (about $0.13 AUD) our destination was Lübeck and Hamburg, Germany. Our travelling companions being "Team North Face" (Kristopher and Penelope).

Hamburg has lots and lots and lots of dog poo (it's everywhere), a huge port / habour and is famous for its Red Light District (Reeperbahn). Between shopping for gimp masks, strap on dildo's and handcuffs we sampled many a local delicacy with weiners, bratwurst and beer on the menu. The highlight of the trip being the Hofbräu an der Alster (great call Kris).




Lübeck was a pretty little town that also had a famous beer drinking establishment and the most awesome road side diner..... those ladies rocked - the food at 1.35am was sensational; yummy bratwurst and hamburgers with lots of mustard!


Downside of the trip was that both hotels did not believe in hot water even though it was between 0C and 5C's outside each day. Worthy points to note was the singing, beer and the food, ohhhh, and the company of course.
