Gusbands Amazing London Race

Lucy - All I can say is never leave home with out your travel agent. Without Gusband guiding us around this fabulous place I am sure I would not have seen as much. It has been a non stop tour spectacular a bit like the amazing race really (considering the pace we are sightseeing)

Andrew is practicing paying attention to where he is (he never remembers what he’s seen, let alone where he’s been, I’m even unsure if he remembers what trips we have been on together!)

Andrew is also not allowed to be in charge of all things important, I think this stemmed from the fact that as we were leaving immigration @ Singapore airport we had to fill out the paperwork & in true Andrew style as we were walking over to the booths Gusband uttered “Where’s your passport?” Yes Campers he left it on the counter.

 As well as shopping up a storm we have managed to throw in a double decker bus tour. 

Of course we are in the cheese store!

Mmmmmm more cheese

@ lunch

Bus Tour

Andrew & Gusband with Big Men (Oops I mean Big Ben)

Quite a strained smile...(take the fxxking Picture already)

Who's a horses head...

Whilst on the bus tour I asked Andrew “whats the name of that building shaped like a penis?” he replied, “the penis building” (very helpful) We then learned the locals call it “The Gherkin” either way we had fits of laughter down the back of the bus, like the naughty children we are. Some other signs that have ended up with us erupting in laughter are: “Erected 1872” , “Lupis Street”, & “Cockstern Street” It really doesn’t take that much to amuse us as you are probably aware, we love a bit of toilet humour, Poor, Poor Gusband.

Gusband has managed to fit so much in, it was inevitable that we would hit a jetlag wall & a jetlag wall, we did hit!!  If I had my camera It would have made a nice wee video. We were @ “Wicked” the musical and if you looked closely at row T you would have noticed two men nodding their heads as they fell asleep one young lady with heavy eyelids who didn’t want to miss any of it (super great musical, I have been known to leave halfway if not enjoying myself)

Catch phrases of the first 56 hours

Lucy

“I’m thirsty, I could use some water” apparently it’s become more important than alcohol. I had been hording it on the plane, I just couldn’t get enough on the 1^st plane & by the second plane I had Andrew delivering me some from business class for my stash. Am officially now a water talking crazy bitch.

Andrew 

“You are both being Ninja’s” which translated means Gusband & I are whinging about something.

“Totes Hilair” I feel that this phrase could possibly become annoying by the 3^rd week. Translated is “totally hilarious…”

He likes to follow this up with a bit of

“Totes com sue” (just for you Kylie)

& Andrews constantly singing us the one line he knows from a Katy Perry song “Baby you’re a Firework”. Like that's not getting old already....

London to me, in a few words is:

Fabulously spectacular buildings

Lot’s of people

Lots of sirens- I have never in my life seen so many Ambulance/ police cars & helicopters hovering. We were wondering down “Gay Street” as you inevitably do when you’re with the gays. Went into a store they know well & by the time we exited there was an area police taped off, Andrew will fill you in. Yes campers, we have seen it all in the short time we have been here.


Today is our last before heading to Italy. I wonder what Gusband will have us do today? I'll keep you posted.


Andrew - Shopping! We've been bloody shopping again, the pair of you are an amazing pair of shoppers. Meanwhile, my feet hurt.

Lucy & Gusband can try on all these things and then leave with nothing. Weird.

I thought that London was supposed to have shitty weather, turns out in Spring there is so much pollen flying around we all have weeping eyes and running noses. Yep we are all ninjas at this point.


The bus thing was fun, a great way to show London to someone who has never been here. Also a great thing to do when someone really isn't interested in getting off and having all the same same photos in front of buildings that everyone else has in their albums. Note to self, the top of the bus will experience large amounts of pollen flying around.


Wicked was fabulous once again. Yes the jet lag was bad at that point but I think all things considered we have done very well. Speaking of the flight, when Lucy came to visit us and we were having some photos taken, the air hostess made it very clear that she was not welcome to share my seat for too long. It's not like her voice or laugh are very loud.


Yes Lucy, I think "totes com su" will have to go after we saw the body of old mate after he attempted to "com su" in Soho. For those of you unsure of what we are talking about, there is a bad phrase floating around, "totes com su". It stems from a parody of camp boys screaming the phrase while flailing their arms around. Think "Come Fly With Me" - P.S it's a f#*!kiing hilarious show. The actual deed not so much.




Although I am with you on the bloody sirens! And then at breakfast again with the sirens but this time with fire alarms.


I shall leave you in peace campers, far too much writing on this one and we have wine to drink and cheese to eat. Hope all is well at home. xx

Just before the nasty bitch made Lucy leave
