Hello from London England!

M Well boys and girls we're here in backwards world or Bizzaro world, where the busses all have a second floor, they all drive on the left (certainly not the right) side of the road. Oh and we're the ones with the funny accent! lol

J Our plane arrived on schedule, even with a spare seat between us we didn't sleep very much on the flight. I read two CPU magazines and watched half of Shrek 3, the food on the plane was very good, but man it's tough doing those long flights.

Here are the stats; the trip over was just under 8.5 hrs, we flew at an altitude of 40k ft going about 850 km/hr and the trip was just under 8,000 km in total. We've been in a few lines today, starting at the Gatwick Airport (probably an hour to get through customs), and the tube lines going to our hostel are down for maintenance so we got to use the city BUS system, which with our heavy bags SUCKED, but we made it here safe and sound!

Our hostel is newly renovated in the upstairs of a pub, which was great because I had my first pint of beer right after chucking that heavy pack in our room. We both found out that we couldn't get our day packs attached to the main ones because we overpacked, so before we leave Journey's Paddington (that's our hostel) we're gonna have to loose some gear. The beds look clean but the kitchen upstairs is tiny, our co-ed room is pretty full despite the time of year. So far I give the place 3.5 /5 Jesse stars. haha

We spent the day at Madame Tussaud's wax museum, buying food at a local grocery (12 pounds for a 3 course meal!) and a trip to Piccadily Circus. Oh, and what a shi**y circus. I have pictures but can't post yet.

So ya we made it here safe and sound and we're loving it!
Signing out from Jolly Old England, bloody L it's expensive here.
