Arrived at the Caledonian Club in Belgravia, London at about 9.30am after the long flight from Melbourne via Abu Dhabi. Belgravia is a very wealthy part of London where many of the Consulates are located.
I spent the day organizing the "re-build" of my bike with some help from a local bike shop together with getting a local UK SIM card and getting local cash.
I managed to get a short ride back to the Club from the bike shop which was good, although I got lost a few times with one way streets.
Where I am staying is quite "old world" but convenient to most of the tourist attractions.Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey etc and I took a long walk to get acclimatized after the long trip. The weather here is very warm ( 29 degrees) which is a far cry from Melbourne where it was 14 degrees when I left.
The next few days will be me being a bit of a tourist with no riding really.
