Damn, am I glad to have booked a stopover in London. Definitely worth the time and money. Got to see a good bit of town just by walking around for a few hours...got to see the London Eye (line was too long and light fading too fast to actually go in it) and all of Westminster Abbey. Somehow I plain didn't get to Buckingham Palace. I don't know why I spaced on it, but I got distracted and walked around Trafalgar Square instead. I guess it evens out because I got a few amazing iPhone sunset pics (didn't take my real camera out. Regretting that too, but the best camera is the one that's with you right?) along with some potenially solid GoPro footage. I've only been here 8 hours and have only 10 before I get back on the road to the airport again. Sunday morning should be easy, but I'm not taking any chances. I'll be sure to go out with my camera in a few weeks when I'm back here and go to Buckingham palace. 

In only the order in which the pictures were taken...

I have to admit, I was pretty nervous/apprehensive when I first arrived. I had trouble finding the hostel at first because I am used to square streets. Umm...look at a map of London proper (I am just south of the London Bridge). No such streets exist. It's a flippin mess. I finally got my bearings in the rain and got to my hostel. I am pleasantly surprised. It's very clean and nice, everyone is social plus they have a deal with the attached pubs/restraints and you get 25% off food and a few drinks are even2 for 1. Safe to say I will be staying here again in the future. St. Christopher's inn at the Village/London Bridge for those of you playing at home. Hot water and power a big plus too. 

Safe to say, I'm no longer nervous for inpedependant international travel. It's only spurred me on even more. 

Next time I will probably be writing you from Bombay!

Flew right over my house too...
