London Monday 24 September 2007

Day 2 in London. Just had some breakfast and of course English Breakfast, so bacon and eggs. Yesterday the weather was very nice, sunshine and 21 degrees, but today: RAIN. So I will take a taxi to the Office. I will post my stories later on.

Lunch time and the weather in London is very nice at the moment. I'm going to work on 2 Microsoft CRM project, one international project and one project for the largest charity organization in the UK. So today I have a lot of meetings and conference calls and a lot te read.

In the evening I went to the center of London to see the British Airways London Eye, Houses of Parliament, of course the Big Ben and finally I went to Buckingham Palace. A colleague of mine said that I had to buy an Oyster Card for the underground, very cheap.

At nine o' clock I was back at the hotel and ordered some diner. I had to try the fish and chips, one word: delicious.

I will post my pictures asap when I have a faster connection to the internet then at my hotel.

London Sunday 23 September 2007

Hello,

Here is my first message from London City. Yesterday was a very busy day for me. I had some private appointments early in the morning and of course I had to help my wife with cleaning the house, otherwise she had to do this alone next week. I was able to check in on the internetsite of KLM. My plane took of from Amsterdam (Schiphol) at 17:20h, so boarding at 16:30h. I landed on Heathrow Airport at 17:10h (Local time). The taxi was arranged for me so after an hour driving (what a trafic jams on sunday!!!) I arrived at the Ibis Hotel London Euston St Pancras. Unpack my suitcase, phone with my wife:) and after that I decided to search for the Atos Origin building in the center of London. After a 30 minutes walk I finally found the buidling. I will post my pictures of the first day ASAP.
