thud...

well here we are back in the real world (ouch!). london to be exact. post terrorist attack...and it is rather calm (considering) and hot?! and rainy?? the best of both worlds. it is nice though to understand stuff and be understood again.

time to find jobs, places to live and all that fun stuff... i keep saying hola and gracias to people...they probably think i am being pretentious. i think gracias is nicer than thankyou, but then it also sounds like 'grassy-arse'...

we spent our last days in spain trying to soak up as much of that harsh sun and working on our tans (ok, maybe not but you can let me dream...and i am slightly brownish (tinted) rohan of course looks like a native spaniard) before heading to london. our last night in spain was spent at a gay bar (rohans choice)....just kidding, i was knackered after a trip from alicante to madrid that took 8hrs instead for 5 cos the bus broke down. we were wandering around new territory and looked at the menu (looked fine) and i decided i wasnt wandering anymore (maybe a slight tantrum!) so we went in and there were larger than life statues of naked men holding up the roof....ahh funny. the music was awful but the food was ok.

and now we are in london desperately trying to find accommodation at a reasonable price.
any hints/advice anyone??

my only advice is to find something for very short term - share(?) Uni. residencies,maybe try ads at Australia House..from 5-22nd Aug. you can have free accommodation at Richmond with my cousin..that would give you more time to look around. Where are you staying at the moment?
Good luck..things will fall into place..we'll keep our fingers crossed, and also ask our English friends whom we will see on Sunday- they might have some bright ideas, or relos with spare rooms!!
Take care.. Mum
