Well I gave up not getting starbucks. It was so good. I mean, it did the job.

Killed some time walking around the edge of The City before a museum. It was interesting. I was the only one looking at one thousand year old history: everyone else was just getting to work.

Just walking around in circles in London is cool enough, in the actual city is unbelievable. If the big fire in 1666 hadn’t happened…damn. who knows what we might have today.

I saw what was left of the Romans. They really weren’t here for very long. And a lot got chewed up in the 1800, so I’m glad we got what we got.

Today was kinda crappy and rainy so I called it quits at 3. Tomorrow promises sun and 61 degrees. I’m taking the tube to the end and we’ll see what’s there.

Today’s activities were: avoid creeps, go for long walks, and look at stuff. Success!!!

Spent time walking around the West end before a walking tour. It hasn’t changed a bit. Still incredibly bougie lol.

We ended up at westminster abbey. The most exciting thing about this is, there’s a kebab place nearby that is off the chain. So I had a coma inducing lunch. So good.

Had a nice walk to a modern art museum. It was just ok. No giant vagina couches or anything like that. Semi disappointing.

That’s it for today. My feet are tired and I’m resting for a busy day tomorrow

Night, all

Woke up at 9:30 pm, 1120, 230, and 630. So let’s just say that I’m taking benadryl to sleep tonight.

Got off to a good start with a long morning wander, lost track of the time and almost missed my cemetary tour. Highgate cemetary is one of 7 very special cemetaries in London. The guide was very friendly and informative.

After lunch I was delighted to discover that my cell plan includes really shitty data and cheap international calls. Cell plans have gotten better over the years.

After a rest I walked around the Kensington and Nottington areas. Found a thrift shop and a lot of people to watch.

Kensington palace was underwhelming. I think someone lives there because you can’t get anywhere near. Embassy row nearby was much neater. No pictures of course. Lots of police presence because of the Russian situation.

Back to the hostel for leftover groceries and talkative roommates.

There’s a few Loonngg term residents here. You get to see how they creep on the female backpackers and it’s kinda funny, kinda not.

I am so tired I’m seeing through time.

Nice afternoon walking around though. I managed to stay awake until 6. Hooray!

For those interested in such things, this is the first little batch of groceries that I bought. Very reasonable for a busy metro area.

Update: I got enough sleep to not turn into a three year old. Those that have traveled with me will appreciate what that means.
