I'm in London still... and it's better than that Waifs' song my Dad likes.

Well, we've been in London a few days now, and although still not entirely over the jet lag we are seeing some great things and having a great time. Yesterday we went for a long walk and saw all that royal stuff like Buckingham palace etc, it was a bit of an accident to be honest, we just kind of stumbled across it. We were lucky enough to catch the changing of the horse guards, which was pretty cool. I tell you what though, being a guard like that would be a sucky job, they have to just stand there all day and barely move, I'm not disciplined enough really, but regardless it looks as boring as hell, even if they do get to carry swords. Anywho, after that we went to The Globe theatre, the reconstruction of the theatre shakespeare's plays were shown in. We got tickets to see The Merchant of Venice on Tuesday, which I'm pretty excited about. After that we went to the Tate Modern art gallery, and that was really impressive, so many really interesting things to look at, which is kinda a given I guess. Then today we checked out the Natural History museum, and the science museum, which were both relatively interesting, but free admission meant the price was right so I'm not complaining. Then we went and had a look at Harrod's which was pretty impressive in it's excessiveness, but made me realise how much I couldn't afford anything. We've also been spending a lot of time in the parks here which are huge and lovely. I've been managing to stick to budget, which has been excellent for my health in terms of having to walk everywhere and eating cheaply without the option of snacking or gorging. So so far all has been excellent. Really the only downer has been the hostel. It's interesting being in an English speaking country but being a minority in the hostel for speaking English, which is fine, it just makes socialising a little harder because of the language gap. We're moving to another hostel in a couple of days so it will be fine regardless.
Well that's about all I have time for at the moment, so take it easy and I'll catch y'all next time!
