The Adventure Continues…

Another few weeks or so on and so much has happened! We got out to a little club called Koko in Camden one night and saw a couple of Aussie bands play, Philadelphia Grand Jury and Art vs. Science. The place was really cool, kind of like a mini Thebarton Theatre, but then with more levels. The bands were amazing! We got right up the front and also took our Aussie flags as well and waved them around and jumped and danced around. There was even a few other Aussies around us which was cool. We got home tired, sore and bruised, (well at least Dung was bruised), but was such a fun and great night!

Kate spent the next 5 days in Spain so Dung and I ventured off to do a few touristy things. We went into the city to find us some elephants, and found us quite a few of them! They were all over the place. Even in shopping centres. If you don’t understand this then check out the website here: http://www.elephantparadelondon.org/and don’t forget to check out my pictures on Facebook for a lot of elephant pictures.

On our travels we also came across some war memorials and found our way to Buckingham Palace as well. Yet to see the changing of the guards though because it had already happened once we got there, but plenty of time to see that yet. Just need to get there early enough to beat the crowds!

Kate got a job at Dung’s work. Then I got a job there too, so we’re all pulling pints together in a nice pub in Wimbledon. Great place and people and a lot of fun. Dung and I also pent some time walking around the neighbourhood seeing what we could find and found some great parks to hang out in, as well as finding Wimbledon stadium where they have the tennis. Busy, busy place at it is nearly that time of year, and should be a crazy time at the pub with that on, especially in the sports bar. And couple that with the world cup we are definitely in for some crazy but awesome times!

We also headed of for the weekend North out of London to Doncaster by train with a few friends to got the the Doncaster Dome to see Pendulum play. Before we went to see them though we went to a friends Dad’s house for our first London BBQ. I must say I was impressed. It was delicious. Although no where near as much food as my BBQ’s often have. Pendulum were another Aussie act who didn’t disappoint, although we came out of there like we had just jumped in a swimming pool! We went out on the town that night and although all the talks of Doncaster not having a night life unless you want to fight, we found no trouble and just had fun. We spent the night at a nice little hotel then went for a drive about half hour out of Doncaster the next day past Sherwood Forrest (Robin Hood was no where to be seen though… must have been off promoting a movie or something) to a massive park called Clumber Park. Here’s the googlemaps view:

Check it out on satellite and you can see how ridiculously big the park is. Who knows where abouts we were in there, but we weren’t too far from the lake. We took a picnic with us and sat around for the day enjoying the sunshine and even got a little bit burnt! It was a beautiful place and such an awesome day for it to just sit around and do nothing.

After working at the pub for a couple of weeks I went for an interview at a place called Charityshare, doing IT Support and have since started working there this week. A little boring so far but it will get better I’m sure. I’m still working at the pub as well, just one or 2 shifts here and there, which will also be good for when I am out of a contract doing my IT work.

Well I think that’s about it for now, keep me updated with what’s happening back home and maybe speak to some of you all soon!
