It's been a few days since last posting, there's been an establishment period and a bit of jetlag to overcome. But here we are, for the time being a trio, James, Alison and myself. We touched down on the morning of the 5th, London time. The flight was not the most pleasant experience on my life, I think my legs are just a little too long for their seating space. And movies are only so entertaining when one isn't allowed to move. Though I shall not dwell on discomfort, for as of now, we've had 3 days of exploring London. I shan't run through everything we've done, suffice to say we've seen some pretty fine museums, a variety of streetscapes, parks and buildings, and today a fairly fantastic market. London is refeshingly brisk, even chilly some mornings, but the weather couldn't have been better. The sun doesnt pack as much punch as back home, but so far we haven't seen much of the famous English overcast sky.
We're based in a hostel just off Hyde Park, which is situated in QUITE a posh area. The streets are lined with tall white terrace houses, and our own building is quite ornate from the street. James and myself are unlucky enough to be on the 4th floor, which entails a suprising number of steps. This means we have to be very economical about trips to the room. It's simply not worth forgetting your camera or wallet. Once you're down, you're down for the day.
I could speak at length of all the intricacies of the last 3 days, but really all I should be saying is that it's a very promising start to the trip. Hopefully before long I can put up a link to some photos, should you be interested!
For now, Dave out.
