This will officially be the shortest blog out of London. After my day of touring I met up with Sarah as she made her way into the city to attend a Justin Timberlake concert. I told her i'd gladly make the trip to see the new O2 entertainment complex...formerly the Millenium place/centre..whatever. Is a very cool complex. It is a massive 1km in diamater canvas dome that has streets on the inside...and further on inside is a new arena that will house concerts and even in Late September two exhibition NHL games...featuring the Ducks and the opponents i can't remember. ANYWAY, we went there...checked the sites out and even had a nice meal while there. I said goodbye and made my way back to Picadilly circus for a few pictures at night. The crazy's were out in full force.

Well, I'm spending my last night at this hostel, then its off to the Grand at Trafalgar Square...since jessica's little going away present was ONE night in a posh, ritzy hotel. I will, however, look like a vagrant since I have not shaved since I've been here and I'm afraid they might think me a begger! Tomorrow will be a day to relax...take a nice BATH!!! Chill in Trafalgar Square (now that they've gotten rid of the Tour De France stuff) and later at night go for the Jack The Ripper night walk. It takes you all throughout White Chapel and to all the sites relevant to the crimes. The tour is roughly around 2 hours and its led by the worlds leading authority on the topic...so THANK god I'm not staying at some damn haunted hostel tomorrow night. Anyway, hope the pictures are to all your liking! If you have any requests...please let me know and I'll try to see what I can do!

Talk to you all soon,

Don

I'm intrigued by this O2 place... Guess London is now on my list of places I'll have to eventually visit... perhaps for a Ducks exhibition game?? I'm off to my dinner at Baja Cantina, but one last thing... Please shave so that you don't waste your going away gift (You need to at least RESEMBLE your passport when you check in...)
