Fleeting Visit

July 17, 2006 Andy 1 Comments

I flew into London on Fri night on yet another one of my fleeting visits on my way to Poland. This time, though, I flew into Heathrow at a reasonable hour instead of Luton at midnight so I was able to go out for the evening.

Off the plane into the car of the ever reliable parents. A quick stop at the local chippy before being dropped off in Harrow. It’s been a while since I’ve walked around Harrow at night, and I’d forgotten how bad it was. Littered with wanna be rude boys, half of them dressed up as though the were in some r&b video (only lacking the Hummer and scantily clad gyrating arses).

I met up with Nina, Kuntesh, Has, Kieren and Nina’s cousins (out celebrating her birthday) and went to a bar of which the name escapes me. Music wasn’t to my taste, and I must admit I can’t remember the last time I was the racial minority like that. Not a problem in itself, but there seemed to be a lot of attitude (something you just don’t get in Spain), especially when trying to get past everyone to get to the toilets. Apart from that it was a nice night, which I spent most of it talking with Kuntesh and Ketal about travel in India and Thailand.

Saturday was a nice quiet day. I spent most of it sorting through the piles of boxes and old clothes that were shipped back from Spain over a year ago. I’m going to need the space come December. Going out on Sat’ night wasn’t an option as I had to be up at 5 on Sunday, so instead I headed over to Hayes to get a few photos of something that caught my eye the previous evening on the way back from the airport. Once again the Canon 30D showed its worth as I was able to play about with the settings after getting instant feedback on the display. I took over 100 pics learning the camera as I went along. I’ll post a couple of the best pics once I get them off the camera.

  1. Hi

    The name of the bar was Petri – clearly a very memorable one!

    And I thought it was pretty rubbish, too, but stayed because my cousins had put in some effort in organising the ‘gathering’.

    I only really enjoyed it cos I had so many of my favourite people there – yes, even you!!!! Ha ha ha

    See ya soon
