London

After a 3 hour train trip from Axminster to London we got the Tube to our hotel near St Pancras and then went to Ottolenghi's in Islington for lunch.

Then we wandered back along Regents Canal and saw some of the major developments in the area near Kings Cross andSt Pancras.

We wandered along the canal and saw canal boats negotiate locks and people living in house boats. It didn't feel like we were in the middle of one of the world's great cities.

But suddenly we were at Camden lock and then in the vibrant Camden Town and Camden markets.

Later we met up with former RNZer Rick Niblet for dinner at a nearby Tandoori.
