Hi everyone! I'm finally back on the internet after being disconnected for one month! It took so long just to get the telephone line connected and an internet connection set up...but it's good to be back!
Le Tour de France held its prologue leg in London today. I went to Trafalgar Square and there were two huge screens set up where you could see the race going on, and I walked to Buckingham Palace which was part of the route and the picture on the left was taken just outside the palace.
The weather today was nice and warm, the sun was out and it was great to be able to walk around without an umbrella! Everyone was out - St James' Park was packed with people lying on the grass watching the Tour de France on the giant screens and catching some rays. This was such an improvement over my Wimbeldon washout. For those of you who don't know - I went to Wimbeldon last Saturday and it rained the whole time I was there and I didn't even see a single ball being played! All I saw was a plastic sheet over the grass and rain pelting down! I'm going to send in my ticket for a refund....
The Live Earth concert thing was also going on in Wembley stadium. I went to Southbank and walked along the river. Walked across the Millenium bridge thingy, took pictures at London Bridge (which is not Tower Bridge). Went to Borough Market to walk around, eat scallops, eat sausages and just browse. It's very much like Queen Victoria market in Melbourne - brings back good memories of my time in Melbourne. Then walked along The Strand to Covent Garden to browse again....lots of buskers out, and people lounging in the cafes.
Hope tomorrow's weather is going to be as good as today's!
