A Whirlwind trip through London & Venice

10 jam-packed days in the UK = a few days with lovely Bronwyn before she flew back to CHCH, seeing a west end musical, meeting Warrens family both up in Norwich and in Cambridge for a 'proper English wedding', to 2 spectacular days in Venice (now on my best city ever list).

I LOVED being back in London - its a crazy rat race city, and getting used to the transport system all over again was both challenging and exciting! I must say though, out of all the money spent, travel was top of the list!

I met up with my long-time special friend, Anna, on what was the hottest day in London - 34 degrees! Whoever said that true authentic friendships are the ones that stand the test of time, was right! I haven't seen Anna for 15 years and it felt like we caught up only a month ago! An amazing time with her. Loved every minute.

Venice was incredible and exceeded my expectations. The food & wine, as to be expected - AMAZING! I think the photos will speak for themselves....

Now its off to Round 2 Adventure - Kampala, Uganda....
