New Year Countdown
After a Spanish Christmas in Benalmádena, we returned to the U.K. to spend a quiet New Year's Eve and simple countdown to welcome the New Year.
The initial plan was to head out to the central - Westminster - to watch fireworks and countdown near the Big Ben. When we heard the news that there might be tube strike, the idea was thrown out of the window. We decided we wouldn't want to stay out in the cold whilst figuring how to find our way home if there was a tube strike on New Year's Eve - New Year. That would have been a nightmare!
The plus side to this change of decision was we stayed home and went online. Friends from Hong Kong came on MSN to chat, and we had a web chat whilst they had their count down. Of course we joined them in the count down & toasted to a fun filled New Year. We also managed to take a group photo with them.
If you inspect in further detail, you will see us there virtually! Cool or what?
The only thing that prevented me from a timely update of this blog was that I fell ill the day after New Year's. I suspect it's a cold bug that's hanging around the public transports of London. Yes, must be. I noticed that the moment I hop on the underground, I hear someone either coughing or sniffing. Looks like the flu jab that I had a little before Christmas didn't help at all. Duh!!! So much for immunization.
