San Sebastian

We decided to plan a long weekend to San Sebastian as we had heard it was a nice little town and two of our friends were going to be there so we thought we would meet up with them. We spent most of our time wandering the streets looking at the quaint shops, eating the delicious food, drinking and clubbing and spending a bit of time at the beach.

We had an awesome time in San Sebastian with great food, great weather and great company.

Damn... No olympics allowed on the beach



London eye

After being in London for nearly two years, we thought we best take a ride on the London Eye. As it was such a nice day we thought we would hire the Barclays bikes and ride down by the river Thames into the city. We leisurely made our way into the city seeing different sights along the way. Today was one of the hottest days I have had in London (to the point you would just stand there and be sweating!) and we were all really hoping that the London Eye was air conditioned and thankfully it was! We managed to get some good pictures whilst up there.



We made it into the city! Nice view of Big Ben and the London Eye

Olympics

 

Unfortunately we couldn't get any tickets to the Olympics so we headed to the marathon that went through the city and was free! It was cool to catch a glimpse of the Olympics and be somewhat apart of it. There was a definite buzz in the air and it was awesome to be in London when the Olympics were in town! After watching some of the marathon we were a tad hungry so we went to St Katherine Docks for lunch. It was really nice around the docks and there were not as many people!
