Mirko & Ivana visit us in London

Posted by: Josip1st June, 2006

In the time that we have been living in London we have had a few friends come to visit and this weekend my friend Mirko and his girlfriend Ivana were adding to the list. Mirko and Ivana were about to embark on a huge adventure which was to start in London and then continue on to Europe, the World Cup 2006Soccer, Croatia and then finally North America.

The first night they arrived we let them just relax. Ivana was the first to crash but Mirko was a bit more pumped so we all went out except Mel, who decided that walking around Piccadilly Circus at night was not worth getting out of her pyjamas. Mirko managed to wake Ivana up and we all set of to Piccadilly and Leicester square way. There was not much happening their on a Sunday night. I managed to take a picture of a great pile of garbage which is a regular site in London but might surprise a tourist. We also spotted this awesome car and the owner was more than happy for us to take a picture of his pride and joy which is highlighted by his huge cheesy grinBiggrin.

The next day we all woke up late and to our sheer delight the sunSun was out and the sky was blue. As you all are aware by now that this is a rare occurrence in London and is best taken advantage of immediately as it may expire sooner than you think. We headed of to the main attractions in London most of them are around Westminster including the South bank on the Thames, London eye and Westminster Abbey. Mel and I should start our own tour company because this is starting to become overly familiar. However we love having friends over and had a great time walking around London while the sun was actually making a guest appearance.

The next few days I had to go to work but Mel went out with Mirko and Ivana and they saw Buckingham Palace and even went to Harrods where they stuffed there faces Cup_Cake with crispy cream donuts. Mirko and Ivana spent their last day in London without us as we were working. They went to Madame Tassauds. Mel and I have yet to visit Madame Tassauds but I am sure we will after seeing some of the great pictures Mirko took.
