Fabulous Footie Weekend!

What a wonderful World Cup 2010 weekend!. It's still hot hot hot and on Saturday we took a long walk along the Southbank, watching the tourists sweat as they waited in queues for the attractions on the other side of the river :)



We stopped at Strada near Tower Bridge for a pint and again at Black & Blue near Borough Market for a snack.




It is unbelievable how many blooming flowers there are everywhere you look.

Every lamp post has a large basket overflowing with colour!
I took these pics in Canary Wharf and outside our apartment.
Our balcony food garden needed no help after the winter snow. The mint, rocket and strawberries just shot up from what looked like bare ground.

And then there was the footie! To watch the Holland v Spain final we headed to the Dutch pub in Soho, but seeing the queues, we decided on another pub just 100 meters away and also filled to capasity with Dutch people.

The atmostphere was fantastic! I thought we were going to raise the roof, and even though the Dutch played dirty (as usual) we still loved watching it.




After way too many beers, we decided on a late dinner in China Town, by which time no more tubes were running, so we had to walk through thousands of Spanish revellers from Leicester Square, to Covent Garden and then to Waterloo Bridge to catch the night bus home.

A Great End to a Great Weekend :)
