13/08/2012 - 21/08/2012 - Olympic Hangover

Getting a taste of some authentic English food pre take-off - a Nandos then! Easy on the sauce IronRik!
Getting into the swing of things with Mum and Eddie at
Hyde Park. Yes, Tony does weigh more than them combined!
Enjoying the London lights

After all the excitement of the previous 2 weeks, finalising some admin before beginning the next leg of our avoidance of reality tour was never going to be too exciting… a mixture of job admin, culture at the Tate Modern, family time, and a couple of au revoir drinks with friends.






Some fascinating modern
art at the Tate Modern...

Reminiscing about earlier
times
Tubey tubey tube (complete with Torbay poster!)
Some big biscuits and some other
post round refreshments...

Olympic postboxes
Getting into the swing of
things at dino mini golf

All smiles on the Olympic wheel
(Tony minus beard due to job interview!)
The famed Chimney keeping us warm during the barbie!
Not wanting to clutter up James’ flat with our extensive collection of Olympic tat, we headed back down to Torquay to drop off the Gorge and try and get our travelling essentials from the 76 boxes residing in the Balfour leisure centre. Needless to say, such a trip would not have been complete without a ride on the Olympic wheel (which seemed to have been relocated to Torquay with amazing speed!), another delicious Balfour BBQ and a trip or two to the Balfour Arms!
