The first day in London really turned out to be a trip down memory lane for me. We had a look around Kingston before walking along the river to my old house. It's a walk i've been doing as long as i can remember, although it certainly felt a lot longer when i was little!
Along the way i got pooed on by pigeon (grrrr - apparently it's meant to be lucky though..can't see how!). I had mixed feelings seeing my old house. It's so different to Australia, and has certainly changed under the new owners but i did feel something when i saw it, so there are obviously still ties with it!
Walking down the local high street and ran into an old friend, which was lovely! There was definitely a moment when we were both trying to work out if it was really who we thought it was.
After a sandwich from M&S for lunch (oh, how i have missed these!!) we made our way home using a variety of public transport...train/bus/and far too much walking and getting lost (which was going to become a common theme of this adventure!). I found it to be quite an emotional day and certainly slightly confusing, as my two previously separate worlds of Australia and England had finally collided.
