Marisa, Ben and the Bermuda Triangle of Hammersmith!

My sister Marisa and her husband Ben arrived in London on the first weekend of May, to begin their honeymoon. They arrived at 5.25am at Heathrow and unfortunately their plane wasn't late! I met them at the airport and took them back to our flat.

We went for a trip in to central London to keep them occupied (and hopefully awake) for the day. We walked past a heap of sights like Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, St James's Park etc before calling in for a pub lunch and their first beer - London Pride. They started to get tired so we headed back to the flat. Ben said he was still keen to do something so I suggested we drop Marisa at home and the he and I go to one of the oldest pubs in London (The Dove in Hammersmith). Marisa then piped up and said 'oohhhh, but I wanna go to the oldest pub in London too!!'.

I warned them this place seems to have a magical effect on time, where by you think you are going there for a couple of beers but next thing you know its 5 hours and 6 or 8 beers later! Well it lived up to its reputation and we decided that it should be called the Bermuda Triangle of Hammersmith - where time disappears!
