November 6: London Calling


Well as you can see we made it safely to London, somehow. We are both kinda sick, Katey more so than Spots. The flight was easier than expected, and so was finding the hostel even though it was a 2.5 hour journey through the London "tube".

After we arrived we did some wandering and then slept for 16 hours in our tiny room. The next day we did more wandering and found Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and the London eye. It seems that whenever we are not sleeping we are walking somewhere. After the Eye we went to find a couple of cheap pints in some dingy little pub. On the way back our bladders got the best of us as we frantically searched for a public toilet. After releasing some pressure we went to the hostel to freshen up and found a little Greek restaurant that had an overactive air conditioner and a cheap bottle of wine. Thinking it was party time, Spot found some cheap Foster's (Australian for beer), however we were both out by 11pm. After another night of trying to sleep off the jet lag we were up at the crack of noon to do some more exploring. We walked for about an hour to our next London hostel after enjoying a delicious pho breakfast. Katey is getting sicker, but trucking along just fine.
So, we will try to update this once more before we are off to Gibraltar and Morocco next Wednesday. Stay tuned....

  3. Why did Katey take my jeans?

    Make sure you go to a Topman/Topshop and buy your brother lots of good presents. Also, go to Piccadily Circus and be touristy.
