This is going to be a short entry, we've been in England staying with Sasha's fathers girlfriend's son and his girlfriend. So basically Sasha's step-brother! They've been kind enough to put up with us for two nights.

The first night was pretty amazing, we watched England v Italy and unfortuately it came down to an extra 30min overtime and penalty kicks - which England blew. So it ended up being a 4-2 game. Enjoyed some very yummy hard cider (much better than in Ireland), and then headed back home aroun 10:30 and had a nice long sleep!

The next day, Sasha and I did pretty much nothing. Besides plan our next adventure and where we were staying and whatnot, we were both in the mood to be lazy. We did prepare a nice stir fry with British cupcakes (fairy cakes) for dessert.

The second day, we went into town and saw Big Ben, Parliment House, went on the London Eye, went into the wax museum, and met a celebrity!!! A real celebrity actually. We met Michael Fielding, brother to Noel Fielding (more famous), who are from the tv show "The Mighty Boosh"! Michael was working at the 4-D Experience at the London Eye lol...quite a step down from a popular TV show. He seemed happy that we recognized him though. We went thru a second time just to ask him if he was really him (Sasha couldn't contain her excitement), and he asked us if we wanted a picture with him. He was really sweet, and we probably made his day 😊

After a long day of sight-seeing, we headed home, and enjoyed some time to ourselves before we had to back up and catch the night bus to Brussels.

Sorry this entry is so short, but we've got to go!
