Dont convert! Never convert! just dont do! Never convert! money that is haha.. The main thing that I have learnt after being here for 3 days in never convert things from pounds back into Australian dollars.. Because its just way too depressing.. So that is my advice to future travellers.. DONT CONVERT! Unless you come from a country with a much stronger exchange rate! haha..
Also dont pack too much! haha.. You can take a suitcase (shaddup Cal) just make sure you are able to lift it.. Cos taking it on and off trains with hundreds of other people wanting to get on and off is not fun.. I havent even done it yet.. Im just imagining.. And its not a fun fantasy haha.. Word of warning to anyone planning to travel over here..the tube stations are full of STAIRS! very few escalators and lifts.. its all stairs!! really really not fun when you've already got sore legs from all the walking 😞 and the stairs 😞 😞 😞
Thirdly, just because your a tourist and single does not mean that you go on holidays to get drunk and whore it up ok?! I could do that at home
if I really wanted too (not that I would but I could).. not spend as much money as I have just to not remember any of it when I get home.. So that is not the plan and Im sick of hearing about thats what I should be doing!
Ok there's my little rant and rave out of the way.. See thats the problem with travelling by myself.. No one to bitch, its all gotta come out somewhere people haha..
Now to what i've been up to in the last 24hours.. I managed to astound a group of guys with my pool playing ability (thanks Scotty), Moosh and I were down a pub playing pool when we got challenged for the table.. Anyway ended up just playing against these guys for the rest of the night and I was NOT the worse! Go me! Granted I was also the only sober one (see above) by the end of the night but I like to think that didnt affect their ability or my ability to beat them hehe.. Slept in this morning then headed out to Madam Tussauds (the wax museum) That is actually pretty cool but overpriced and probably slightly overrated.. Massive tourist trap haha.. CHamber of Horrors is very cool, as is the CHamber Live, I dont usually scare easily but that had me spooked, live actors coming up right up close to u.. AHHH!!! (mich, I'd hell love to take you there! THAT would be soo funny!!) while I was out there I purchased a ticket to the Lion King in the West End for tonight so have just come back to the hotel now to chill for a while before heading out to that.. Looking forward to seeing the show cos seeing a show on the West End was probably the thing I wanted to do most.. Slightly pissed off cos the lady who sold me the ticket talked me out of seeing Les Miserables which is wanted I really wanted to see.. Could always go again cos you can always get cheap tickets to the shows.. again just DONT CONVERT!
Really cant believe I've only been gone a few days.. Seems like so much longer hey.. Like this time last week I was at the Raffles having dinner.. Seems like a lifetime ago...
Anyway hope everyone is enjoying reading about my adventures.. Im taking advantage of the cheap internet I have just around the corner from my hotel so I cant promise that I'll always be updating as regularly as I am but I'll try...
xoxox
P.S Mum, our next holiday is to somewhere when I can actually AFFORD to shop, I'd be shopping here if i could.. but just too dam expensive! haha.. So Asia and cheap shopping here I come!
