When Phil visited us last month he found flights for us to go and visit him in London, 30€ return for both of us. How could we refuse? He met us on Friday evening at Liverpool Street Station and we walked to Brick Lane for a long-anticipated curry. Not up to Bradford standards but still wonderful! Then back to his house near Willesden Green. He and his mates Nick and George are very comfortable there. Thanks for the hospitality, lads!

So Saturday was our first day playing tourists and as you can see we were lucky to have some blue sky. We walked miles doing the traditional spots, but also took the tube to Camden to visit the market. What a fantastic place, heaving with people, with really colourful shops and stalls.

We left to walk to Primrose Hill and a great view of the London skyline with its many cranes and new developments, passing a Banksy creation on the way ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy ). Back down the Hill to walk past London Zoo, viewing some of its occupants, before returning home to rest our weary limbs.
