Arrived at Milton Keynes last night to meet with Kathryn, my cousin. While waiting at the bus station to get picked up, Al and I ended up high from the dope smoke that seemed to be floating in the air consistently. A few more details on London.
Arrived in Heathrow and got through customs and immigration quite quckly. Caught the tube into London and met up with Al which was suprisingly easy. Al says hi to everyone (actually, she didn't, but i thought i'd make her look friendly).
Decided I'd better check out the major sites of London and walked past Buckingham Palace and then Big Ben, across the Thames and down the other side to Tower bridge and the Tower of London. We decided to go into the Tower of London, which was about £15.
Took a few photos and checked out the crown jewels (mine were bigger). You're not allowed to take photo's of the crown jewels, but they were really cool, definitely worth checking out if you visit London. They had a solid gold punch bowl that was the size of a large table. Amazing. Was thinking of how cool it would be to fill it with beer.
After we finished at the Tower, we caught the underground back to where Al was staying so she could pick up her pack. We saw a car accident where a double decker bus took a van out and knocked it on its side. I did the tourist thing and took a photo of it.
By the way, peak hour on the underground is really busy in London (duh). Try and avoid it.
Heading to Paris in a few hours and will post at some point when i'm there.
Oh, and by the way, sorry Dave for the lack of details. The beer in Singapore was called Tsingtao Beer. It was 5% alcohol volume, but only 300ml. Don't worry, i took a photo of the can.... empty of course.
Feel free to add comments, or send messages through this travelblog. I'll try and get on as much as possible.
Until Paris, au revoir, or whatever you're supposed to say.
