London, Paris, Jen
For those lesser informed individuals, I have been in London for two weeks. The reason for my trip was to visit Jen. I did that. And this is how the trip went (I will be providing an abridged version):
- Day 1: Saw Jen for the first time in over 7 months I think it is. What an amazing feeling. It just fits. Dullich to Visit my Yiayia
(Grandmother for those English folk reading). Her Husband is sick. No not my Grandfather, her husband. Nice to see her.
- Day 2:
Travel to our homebase just near South Africa, oh wait, did I say South Africa, I meant Wimbledon. Moved on to Dorset. Jen's one Aunt (Caro) lives there. Nice relaxed weekend.
- Day 3: Got Sick. From here on... I am sick. In fact, Im still sick.
- Day 4 - 6: Did the Touristy stuff with Jen cause she's been working so hard she hasn't done any of it. Picadilly
, Liecester Square, Regent Str, Oxford, Harrods, Hamleys, went to the Dali Musem
. Go to the theatre to see Chicago. Covent Gardens Lost electricity so show was cancelled (we had to book a matinee show on friday afternoon. Spend lots of time with Sarah, Jen's lovely sister who was Uber nice to me and made me feel very much at home. 
Friday night have a night out in Clapham. Hydro Bar then The Grand. I think i spent about R800 that night, not sure.
- Day7-9:
Visit Jen's other Aunt (Val) in Kent. This was accompanied by a meeting of a third Aunt (Gill) and both of their families. Very pleasent weekend spent there
. Then we made a trip to Edgeware area to meet some of my family. Nice to meet with some South Africa Greeks in amidst of all the Brits that I met!!
- Day10-12: PARIS!!!!!! Jen went above and beyond the call of duty and booked us in to a hotel in Paris for two night and three days. What an amazing time. Paris in the Autumn (ish) is wonderful and the company was grand. Just me and Jen. I would love to say that it was a much needed break, but we walked out little toushies off seeing Paris. Jen had never been so i took the liberty of showing her around a bit.
The Louvre, The Eiffel Tower
, The Champs-Elysse, Monmatre and SacreCoure (Excuse the spelling). We got Charicatures
done, had french baguettes, ate snails
and duck, samon and chicken, cakes and desserts and LOADS of wine. Was incredible. I would suggest Paris to any couple looking for a nice brief getaway.
- Day 13: Home time for me and the terrible prospect of leaving Jen and subsequent SHOCKER of a flight home, which you can read about below.
And that is that. In a nutshell of course.
