Outdoor ice skating

This is something that you could never have in Sydney, an outdoor ice rink. Last night we went to the National History Museum's Christmas Fair & Ice Rink. Well not so much for the Christmas Fair but more for the outdoor ice rink. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about it, I've done ice skating before at Maquarie Centre and wasn't very impressed, but then again like a lot of other thing about London, it was different.

The setup was really pretty, against the backdrop of the museum. The Christmas Fair just behind the ice rink and they have a live carol choir next to the ice rink, plus it was freezing cold last night. I know it's cliche but it finally feels like Christmas how it was meant to be (ie: freezing cold).

We were lucky that Bule Dave (who speaks fluent Indonesian that put my English to shame) knows one of the ice marshall and she took us all in for 2 free skate sessions. In between session I had my first taste of mulled wine. It was awesome! Yet another way to make bad red wine taste astronomically better.
