Sightseeing with our In-Country Agents


Back in April we set up a bit of an India versus Ecuador tennis match on the Wii and both Bob and Gary proved that they were both very capable of mastering modern technology in the form of a games console! And this weekend, after working hard at the EPC in High Wycombe the agents who didn’t have to head home straight away stayed out with the Expedition Planning Managers for some celebratory noodles. Tommy found an affinity with the Atlas the Ape on his t-shirt as he swung back to the hotel on every tree branch he could find and we’re delighted to report that Javier did make his rather early flight at 5am!

The following day, Pablo, Tommy and Carlos were packed off to London for a day of sightseeing. They managed an epic tour of Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the Tate Britain before heading to the Taste of Spain Festival on Regent Street. Pausing for lunch in Green Park Carlos sought the ‘free advice’ of a generous Texan hippy whilst Tommy set up camp next to him to offer ‘free hugs’. Then it was the delights of Buckingham Palace, the changing of the guards, Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery where Tommy scaled the dizzy heights of the elephant and lion statues for a better view of London. Joined by Pablo, Team America finally ended up with frappe soya lattes in Soho.

If you want to see what they had to say about London check out little video from Tommy and Carlos.

We know they speak for all our agents, including those that could not attend the conference, when they say they are looking forward to having you all this Summer. So keep up the last bits of fundraising and fitness training and they’ll see you there in a few weeks time!
