Lovely day in the twin cities and all of us were super excited about beginning our 24 day road trip of Europe and London. Things went smoothly and we reached london right on time. It took us a while to realize why we had decided to spend a couple of days at London. To BLOW AWAY OUR MONEY! The place is such a rip off. Every minor thing at the hostel need one pound or two. And the exchange rates arent helping either. But we're hoping we make better of our financial situation in the other countries, ESPECIALLY the Czech republic!! :)
So, Day 1 began with all of us checking into the Smart Russell Hostel at Russell Square, London. We had a quick bathing routine and left to the Buckingham Palace to witness the change of guard. event did NOT live up to all the hype it created and all of us ended up being pretty much bored, apart from being badly Jetlagged already!
Once that was done, it was time to head to Madame Tussads and posing with the hot wax chicks in a gesture of hopeless optimism :D. Fun! Westminster Abbey was next followed by the London Eye. The Eye was great fun though we did not get to enter the final resting place of Isaac Newton owing to a Pro-LTTE rally very close to the Abbey. A couple of hours of posing in front of the London Bridge and mindless wandering later, we were back home tired and sleepy. I slipped out of the room to catch my share of free internet! But it looks like the great bladewarrior must succumb to sleep.
Cyanora and more coming.
