I have just finished work for the day. I am still working at the pedal boats in Hyde Park. I worked 11 hours today which is about the average hours for the day. Since starting work two weeks ago I have had one day off, last Tuesday. I have worked a quite a few 11 hour days as well as one 13 hour day. The weekends are the busiest time with hundreds if not thousands of customers using the boats.
The work is not too bad although the long hours make it very exhausting. Today was payday which is always an exciting day. The pay is not great but because I have worked so many hours it all adds up. Last week I worked 59 hours and the week before 66.
Last Tuesday on my day off I went for a walk through through Tate Modern art gallery. Full of abstract modern art from artists such as Picasso and Dali as well as many lesser known artists. I also walked across the Tower Bridge. I crossed it just seconds before it lifted. The bridge can open to let through large ships as it did just after I crossed it.
After work I have been catching up with mates from home who have moved over as well as mates I have met while travelling.
I now have two days off, tomorrow I am going to the tennis in Wimbledon. I plan to get a day pass and hopefully catch some good matches. Then on Thursday I plan to do some more London sightseeing with a mate from the ANZAC Day tour.
The weather throughout the past couple of weeks in London has been rather odd. We have had a lot of sunshine as well as some rain and last week walking home from the train there was a thunderstorm and I got soaking wet.
