The Honey's honeymoon

We've been married a whole week! That's very exciting, in a totally non-life-altering way.  Except that we're on our honeymoon. After slogging through a twenty-something hour flight we arrived in London. We'd been to London before, but in the middle of winter, so we we're looking forward to warmer weather and less ice on the footpath. Well, there's no ice but it's not exactly warmer! Generally speaking the weatheer has been just about identical to the current weather in Melbourne; 16C and cloudy on most days. We have been out and about a lot more though.

The british museum with it's stolen arefacts sacked from temples and tombs across the world, camden market, purveying artefacts supposedly from around the world, and as many bus rides as we could manage in a day.

Our theatre going included "we will rock you" at the west end and the sauciest version of "midsummer night's dream" i've ever seen at the globe theatre (not sure Oberon pashes Puck in many other versions).

It was looking pretty difficult to catch up with my cousins, Clare and Fiona until they suggested that we visit them on set for the short film they are currently producing. Just a small thing, with some locals involved, such as Stephen Marcus (Nick the Greek) and Paul McGann (the 8th doctor)...!!!

We had a great time watching how a film set works in the dark depths of a local cave network once used in the blitz; at one point housing 15,000 people.

We do have some photos but are yet to work out how to connect our ipad to our DSLR camera.

We also caught up with the two Natalies, since they came over here before the wedding. Talie is here to pursue her dream in archaeology, and Nat is here spending obscene amounts of money in Scandanavia with her beau Kris.

Our next plan was to go to the harry potter studio tour (I know, I know, geeks), but the system for entry is quite complicated and we couldn't book tickets for the time that we wanted. So we've slated that for our return to London at the end of the month. So we went to the zoo instead. The zoo was much what you would expect, although maybe i did expect something a bit more from the oldest zoo in the world.

Onward then to Wales!
