We leave London in 205 days on one way tickets to Sydney. After spending nearly 7,500 days in this wonderful city (yes, I cheated by using this site), there’s not a lot I haven’t done that I still want to do.
But there are a few things.
- watch the Aussie cricket team play England live (I am holding out for tickets for the Oval ODI in June, fingers crossed!)
- re-visit some of my favourite museums, such as the Imperial War Museum and the British Museum
- update some of my London walks
- check out the i-Max cinema at the South Bank
- see a couple more west end shows
- try and fit in as many Saturday morning trips to Borough market as possible!
We were also hoping to do a couple more trips to Europe before we left for Oz, but given everything we have to do to organise for the big move, this may not now be possible. Oh well, places like Greece should hopefully still be around for a while yet.
On the subject of London, I’m not quite sure what I will miss about the place and maybe I’ll only realise it once I am back in Oz. I know already that I will miss my friends and my house and the feeling of being in the midst of history as I walk London’s streets. But life goes on. And its time for another big change. (They seem to happen around every 20 years for me.) I’m quite looking forward to not living in a big city, and to working for myself.
And in “never say never” style, who knows, we might come back to London one day for a visit. After all, its “only” a day away! So I guess there’s no harm in leaving a few things unchecked on the list.
