London - first impressions

We're here at last!!!  I'm not sure who was more excited about this stop on our trip: me or the kids!  But we are all having a blast catching up with the Griffiths and enjoying the summer sun here in London.  We are all staying together in Kingston in a great Air BnB find (thanks Nina!) with just enough beds for all of us and not too far from all the shops and restaurants we could possibly need for the next week.

Yesterday was a bit of a challenge: our flight landed not long after 7am and we were at Nina and Giles' place around 9 for breakfast and the second half of the Wellington Bledisloe Cup match.  The boys were straight out into the garden and playing games with Maia and Noah, just what they needed after all those hours sitting on a plane.  After breakfast we got ourselves organised and Giles brought us all round to the house we're sharing for the week here in Kingston. It really is perfect for two families and the Air BnB hosts have children similar ages to ours so there's plenty to keep five busy kids entertained when we're here as well.

We have loads planned for the rest of the week.  Catching up with old friends, some dream jar hunting and sight seeing and on Tuesday Nina and I will be going to see Les Miserable.. I can't wait!!

For the boys, the highlights so far would be double decker bus spotting, a ride to the shops on a (regular) bus and all the games they've been playing outside with Maia and Noah.  At least that's my take on things... They will probably tell a completely different story tomorrow!!
