...I will make an update to my blog about my London life. And it's about time this Amadeo guy gets off my frontpage ;-)

Last weekend I had two visitors over, the first of 2006: Maria and Nico, my Spanish friends from Brussels.



It was very nice to have them over for the end of term weekend, quite relaxing. I refer to Nico's blog (post 1 & 2) for all we've been doing over the weekend, you should be a bit fluent in Spanish though or click on 1 & 2 for an English version. It's far from perfect but you'll be able to get the picture...

One of the things we did was go on the London Eye, supposedly the largest Ferris wheel in the world (135 meters) and indeed the view is trully spectacular but you don't want to think too much about how much you pay for your 'flight' (it's exploited by British Airways and they actually call it a flight), nor how long you waited for it or how awfully touristic it is to do this. What the hell, I've seen the lights coming up over London by sunset and I'll just comfort myself by saying that's priceless!



On Sunday night we went to a bar around Old Street, still my favourite site to go out, the three of us needed a drink to get over the monetary disaster of the weekend, so we turned down the overpriced fancy decorated places and discovered a cool reasonably priced place with loads of drunken (around 7pm)English would-be artists, that's always a good sign...: The Bricklayers Arms. Where the three of us have been looking a bit too deep in our pint... whatever you understand by that :)
