During the evening we were fortunate enough to be invited out by Rotaract for a social get together. We headed in to Ealing Broadway station, where we all gathered for a quick drink, then off for some dinner - Curry!!! The evening was a success with the team members and the Rotaracts hitting it off well - concluding after a few drinks and too much food (again) had been consumed! (A huge cheer and thankyou to Tony who drove us all home (again and again and again! & Mal who drove me there! Great work fellas!!!)
Saturday morning we woke early to head into the Walkabout Pub - to watch the biggest day of the year - the AFL Grand Final. Kira was soooo excited (Geelong supporter, in case you didn't know) that we were getting to watch her beloved team - she went out and purchased each of us a "GO CATS" banner -that we all proudly displayed......well.......you know what i mean.....we were soon joined by Lauren & Caz....who flew the Aussie flag proudly....and the CATS banner (Caz...)
Watching the game was like watching grass grow (after the first half anyway!!) Kira was jumping up and down, cheering and getting very excited for the team - and we joined in every now and then....The pub was packed with Aussies, Kiwis and anyone else who wanted to be a part of the spectacle....the morning was enjoyed by all before heading North - towards Stanmore, where we were collected by Mike Hodge (again - thanks mate!) - unfortunately, there were track works and we had to get off at Wembley (which was terrible as we had to stare at Wembley Stadium - IT WAS GREAT!!!!!)
Having a blast - as you can all gather! Seeing so much and learning a lot about London....
