Hot, hot, hot

This week London has experienced a heatwave as temperatures topped 30C. Yesterdays top of 33C was the warmest for the year and lead the government to issue a "red" heatwave emergency alert for the first time ever. I am not really sure what this involves but the Londoners cannot handle the heat. They all seem to be complaining as travelling on the tubes and buses becomes very uncomfortable.
This week I have had a chance to do some more London sightseeing after the owner of the pedal boats told me I was not needed this week. I told him last week of my intentions to keep travelling and was hoping to work all this week to make some extra cash but it was not to be.
My last day of work on Sunday was a really enjoyable day. As we worked away I could hear the Dave Matthews Band, an American band who's music I quite like, performing in the background. Following work the staff all stayed for a barbecue on the jetty and we could hear Bruce Springsteen performing. A few of us then decided to continue the party and head for a pub. Only by the time we got there it was late and all the pubs were closing. So I started my two hour mission on late night public transport to get from one side of London to the other.
On Wednesday I spent some time exploring all the stalls at the Camden Market before catching up with one of my cousins Summa. We watched Lleyton Hewitt lose to Andy Roddick at a pub.
Wimbledon is now in its final days and all the British are jumping on the Andy Murray bandwagon. As long as he continues winning he will be labelled British but as soon as he loses he will again be labelled Scottish. My tip is Roger Federer, I cannot see anyone beating him.
This afternoon I am planning to visit Greenwich famous for maritime history and giving its name to Greeenwich Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time. Tonight British rock band Blur are performing in Hyde Park so I plan to go hang out in the park with a couple of mates and listen to them.
Tomorrow morning I board a bus for a 20 hour trip to Pamplona, Spain where I will take part in the Running of the Bulls Festival. The week long trip is the start of a month or so of travelling I currently have planned.
