That ANZ ad

Friday 4th July

Okay, so you know that ANZ bank ad with the Scottish dude coming over and setting up a bank accound in 20 mins. That was us, except replace 20mins with 1.5 hours. We can see why the Scottish guy was so shocked to get his bank acc so quickly. We spent with an hour and a half with the bank lady and we still have to go in on Monday once they've activated the bank no. and then they are still going to post our card 5 days later. Then i bet we still have to go in to put a pin on the card later! (and we have to wait 3 months before we're entitled to a credit card)

We met up with the Britbound people (a group we joined) and it sounds like they have lots and lots of cool events and stuff we can do. They arranged the bank account appointment for us and will also help set up our NI number for us too. We will have to come back to London to do some of the cool social events like the Monopoly pub crawl and High tea at the Ritz.

Once we escaped from the bank we headed down the river Thames on a city cruise boat. It was cool seeing the sights from a different perspective. There are heaps of new developement apartment blocks along the river and i bet they're all really expensive (£1mil+)

We got off the boat at Greenwich (not pronounced Green-Which) and strolled up to the Royal Observatory where they established the 0 degree Longitude meridian line). There was a queue to take a photo of the meridian line, i kid you not! So we didn't take one at the official spot, just round the corner instead. I (jez) found the exhibition on the Longitudinal problem really interesting (thats trying to find your longitude when at sea).

We also went to the planetarium next door and they had cool interactive exhibits and there were lots of kids that found it exciting (us too!)

We had tea at the pub at our backpackers which is way cooler than our first hotel. Its situated in an old nurses accomodation building and has like 300 rooms, its massive. We got free breakfast which was yummy.

Thankyou to everyone who emailed us and commented. Its so good to hear from everybody and what everyone is up to at home.

Cool bananas.

Love us.
