HAMLEYS, HARRODS & TRAFALGAR SQUARE


Sharon and the Kids in front of Nelson's Column at Trafalgar Square. Below Liam rides one of the Lion statues at the base of the column.


An occupational hazard of riding the tube during rush hour. No hope for claustrophobia or body odour issues
The shops of Harrods all very tasteful and equally expensive. Sharon and Ngahuia wish they married into money or to an inheritance. "No hope of that Girls"
"Look Papa! can I have one to drive to Ohope School. It's only GBP 22,995 ($70,000 NZD)
Liam and Ngahuia try out some of the toys in Harrods. "Mum they've got my favourite marbles"
Grant and the kids pose for a photo in New Zealand House in front of the pou carved by Master Carver and Artist Inia Te Wiata


Photo in front of "Kiwifruits" a store behind New Zealand House that specialises in products from NZ. Unfortunately everything also cost 3 times as much. The Kids each brought a "K bar" and we all shared the Pineapple lumps. Disappointingly they were out of watties tomato sauce.
Spot the kiwi's having lunch at Trafalgar Square. They're usually the only ones who have homemade sandwiches, cordial, fruit and a packet of chips ( I mean crisps).

"Some days you're the pigeon and others you're the statue". Liam and Paraone doing their best not to get pooped on.
All the whanau strike a pose at Trafalgar Square. Below Grant waiting for Julia Roberts to show up at Nottinghill.
