Olano visits!!!



Olano hopped the pond and stayed with us in our little ex-council house flat this weekend! Some highlights from his trip:

  • A tour of Bobby's school on Friday... We saw Bobby's locker, one of his classrooms, and Mike got to meet some of Bobby's classmates.
  • Walked along the Thames and saw Tower Bridge & Shakespeare's Globe Theater


  • We did a walking pub tour along the Thames with Andrew, Katie & Annie (another visitor of Andrew & Katie's from San Fran!). We learned a little more about the history of the city, checked out where they filmed scenes from Bridget Jones and also Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels and drank some local brews.

  • Olano and I went to Portobello Road to do some shopping - he ate some delicious schnitzel and I bought a new top.
  • Olano and Annie went on the London Eye
  • Taco night at Andrew & Katie's, then off to a pub in Belsize Park for a drink. Sang the mamas and the papas and talked with a couple about planning a trip to Cornwall to see the country.
  • Riding home at 4am on the top deck of the night bus
  • Sunday roast at a local pub, followed by some shopping at TopShop.

One more day before he leaves - we don't want him to go!!
