Well… I made it. Our plane landed safely at Heathrow around 6:15 AM London time.
You might be surprised to know that I hit the ground running, touring the city from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on 4, very uncomfortable hours of sleep thanks to the guy sitting beside me. I’ll explain later. I ended up changing seats.
That said, I’m exahausted.
Some thoughts…
-
- London is friggin’ huge.
- London is friggin’ expensive.
- London is friggin’ romantic. A nice backdrop for Valentine’s Day. Being the ‘catch’ that I am, it’s too bad I spent it alone. (Well… I got a story for you later. You’re gonna love this.)
(I’m going to mispell some thing due to the fact that I’m on a computer clock.)
Synopsis of Day 1:
-
- Toured the Winston Churchill Cabinet War Rooms
- Westminster Abby
- Houses of Parliament & Big Ben
- London Bridge
- Tower Bridge
- Shakespere’s Globe Theater
- The Mellinium Bridge
- The ‘City of London’
- Tate Modern (Art Museum)
- Picadilly Circus
As for were I’m based, I’m literally in the heart of the city. My hostel is a 30 second walk from Picadilly Circus.
I’ll have another funfilled day tomorrow. PICTURES: The computers available at the current moment have no USB hook-up, so I cannot upload any pictures/video for now. It’s going to be at least 48 hours before something develops in that area. So, anyway.
Alright, I’m tired. Hope ya’ll all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day.
I did.

I’m not sure how long your staying in London…but maybe you could look up Helen Clare…you may get a home cooked meal out of it…

4:38 pm on Feb 14 2006glad you made it safe… word in MS is Applehead passed away Monday night. thought you would like to know that.
6:00 pm on Feb 14 2006wow you just did the entire MC London semester in one day.
I lived there for 4 years and have been back twice in the 12 years since and I don’t think I ever saw that many attractions. I knew I was wasting my time watching all those hours of Blue Peter, Neighbors and Eastenders.
