Norwich – Cambridge – London
Well, the wedding went very well I thought. The food was good, the drink plentiful and everyone had a great time. I was off the sauce for the night as I was taxi-ing people about – we even took Nick and Sarah to their hotel. I thought that the best man's speech went well enough. I had to read it off a sheet of paper because I didn't have the time to learn it properly, so it ended up as more of an essay... Anyway, everyone laughed at the right places so that was nice. The phone/camera ended up not working (ran out of juice) so I don't have any pics of the actual wedding, but I do have a picture of the peacocks who live at the reception venue.
After the wedding we stayed the night with my sister Liz and her other half James. In return I updated their PC and ironed out some issues. I do hope it's still working...
From Cambridge we got the train into London, got the last course of vaccinations against rabies and Hep B (ouch), and ended up at Nick and Sarah's house. We'll be here for another week or so – kinda looking after stuff (and Mr. Cat) until they get back. We were able to help them book their flight back from their honeymoon the night before they left (eek – typical Noden organisation there I feel).
Anyway, since then we've been chilling out basically. Yesterday we went to the British museum and spent the whole afternoon there. We saw Greek and Roman sculptures, Egyptian mummies, Assyrian statues, Japanese samurai armour, Viking loot, Polynesian artifacts and everything in between. My favourite bits were the Rosetta stone (the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics) and a huge Easter Island statue.
We're planning trips to the Tate Modern, St Paul's, the Natural History museum and the National Archives – so more about that later.
I have been trying to think about some sort of theme for the trip. I was introduced to www.wherethehellismatt.com recently and liked the so much that I was trying to think of something we can remember each place by – some sort of running theme. More on this later I suspect.
