I have to say, I have all the pictures for the trip uploaded here on Yahoo! or the same over here on Flickr, but this time heading to London tossed an awesome surprise in our path. The Royal de Luxe was in town. You have to stand there to believe it. The video file I attached tries to give you a 30 second glimpse into what it was all about, then I have a bunch of pictures. I want to thank this link for all the specs on dimensions about it all. Quite informative.
Reminder, this is a 9MB file I didn't zip >>>> ND7_London_0099.AVI
It is not often you get to see a 11.2m (37 ft) tall elephant go past you. Oh yeah, all controlled by people riding in and on it. Amazing. They drill holes in concrete to tie cars down, show a rocket embedded into the ground, amazing stuff.
So otherwise, Fri night was spent with family that lives in Boston. Sat morning we decided to get on one of the open top tour buses. That generated quite a few pictures since you can jump on and off at any stop and get on again. Coupled with an all day tube pass, we were everywhere. Lunch was at Wagamama's (damn good quick noodle and rice dishes over near The London Tower). In the sightseeing we ran into the elephant. Dinner was an some chic pizza place in Swiss Cottage before hitting the clubs that night.
Now off to Boston for Admin2006.
