London

The first impressions....

Arriving in at the airport was a great relief, the trip over gave me a chance to get rid of the worst leg cramps ever, my calf still hurts! The snow storm in London had cleared by the time I landed but there was still a lot of snow around the place. The next challenge after landing at Heathrow was to clear customs..... should i declare the 100kg of drugs in my pack or not? In the end I didn't need to worry, no x-raying of bags and no checking of bags, how convenient! That challenge overcome, the next was to catch the tube to the hostel to dump my pack, the tube is fully sick, no problems there, it's just bloody expensive as I'm starting to find out.

The hostel I'm staying at is OK, it's cheap and clean and gives you breakfast in the mornings. You just gotta watch out for the naked dude walking around the dorms, he's been freaking out some of the girls but I think he left this morning. The sleeping patterns are only just starting to return to normalcy but it's hard to get used to the fact that it's dark at 5pm after coming over from daylight savings.

London's main sights have been seen, but I'm looking forward to getting a better understanding of the city and how to get around by taking short cuts, a bike will definently be the best way around town than the tube plus it doesn't cost anything. This is a stance that I've taken after catching up with Delia, he reckons a bike is the only way to travel... as long as you have a big mother of a lock and chain to stop it getting nicked.

Gotta go coz i gotta sort out work stuff and setup a bank account.
