The last 2 days have felt more like a holiday than an adventure. Today and yesterday are the only 2 days of my whole trip where I'll be by myself, so I have just relaxed, caught up in some sleep and organized some stuff. Yesterday I moved hostels, and I spent the time between check out and number 1 and check in at number 2 walking around Victoria. Went to Buckhingham Palace and watched the changing of the guards and to be brutally honest it was a little boring.
Then I caught the underground to my new home in peak hour. The underground has about 5 million users everyday apparently and at least half of them must have been on my train. I was literally pressed between 2 people the entire journey. It was an experience, that's for sure. Maybe not a great one but I'll appreciate the space on the noarlunga train a lot more when I get home.
I settled in then decided to brave it and go friend hunting at the hostel bar. Sure enough I hadn't even ordered a beer yet and I got talking to Jesse from Canada who is in his last week of a 3 month stint in europe visiting pretty much the exact list of countries that I'm hoping to head to.
Today I met 2 cool people;
This guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okhwan_Yoon
And a Moroccan guy who I chatted to in the dorm and he told me I have to go to the party city in Morocco. Considering he drank a whole bottle of wine in the 15 minutes we chatted straight out of the bottle, I have a feeling he knows a thing or two about partying.
And tonight I'm heading off with my Canadian friends to see Big Ben and some other London attractions at night, before heading off to the airport at 5am tomorrow to welcome Kelly and Jamie to the UK.
Don't forget to check back for the daily photos, so far I have scheduled one post a day for 7 days :)
