I met up with Chris today for lunch down at Canary Wharf. I had my first Pret a Manger sandwhich since getting here and loved it! I then headed to the Tate Modern gallery which I hadn’t been to before. This is an amazing gallery with some famous paintings along with some odd sculptures. The […]

Sydney Airport – Wagamamas Originally uploaded by amanzi. I’m doing the wireless thing from Sydney airport at the moment.
